1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesIncreasing awareness of factors that put the population at high risk of frailty is essential to prevent frailty and minimize its adverse consequences.

methodsIn this cross-sectional study, participants were over the age of 65 and living in nursing homes. The Edmonton Frailty Scale was used to determine frailty, the Sarcopenia Rapid Screening Test (SARC-F) was used to assess sarcopenia, and the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) questionnaire and 7-day 24-h dietary recall were used to determine the nutritional status of the older adult population. Data were analyzed by SPSS 25.0 for Windows (Statistical Package for Social Sciences).

resultsThe frailty scale score of gender was statistically significant (

conclusionsOlder adults living in nursing homes are at risk for frailty syndrome, malnutrition, and sarcopenia. Evaluating older adults in terms of all these factors and implementing daily nutrition plans and support according to these results is of great importance for promoting a healthy life.
