Association of Long-Term Care Risk with Nonresponse to the Annual Frailty Screening Program in Older Adults in Japan: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in JMA journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: This study aimed to determine the association between long-term care (LTC) risk and nonresponse to a subsequent survey. Methods: Community-dwelling older adults aged ≥75 years without certified care needs residing in Hachioji City, Tokyo, who participated in the annual frailty screening program, were evaluated. Among the fiscal year (FY) 2020 survey respondents, those invited to the FY 2021 survey were included. The exposures of interest were LTC risk assessed using the seven domains of the Kihon Checklist (KCL) and frailty status in the FY 2020 survey. Frailty status was categorized based on total KCL scores. The outcome of interest was nonresponse to the FY 2021 survey. We conducted multivariable logistic regression analysis to evaluate these associations. Results: Among 35,425 participants, 9,456 (26.7%) did not respond to the subsequent survey. Among seven KCL domains, activities of daily living limitation (adjusted odds ratio, 95% confidence interval 1.38, 1.27-1.50), low physical strength (1.17, 1.10-1.26), isolation (1.32, 1.22-1.44), memory decline (1.23, 1.17-1.30), and depressive mood (1.10, 1.04-1.16) were associated with nonresponse to the subsequent survey. In addition, frailty status was associated with nonresponse in a dose-responsive manner (prefrailty: 1.19, 1.12-1.26; frailty: 1.63, 1.53-1.73). Conclusions: Although the annual frailty screening program aimed to identify those with high LTC risk, older adults with LTC risk were less likely to respond to the survey. Thus, conventional survey methods may need to be modified or different approaches may need to be adopted to identify older adults with high LTC risk.
