Frailty of Health Care Systems.
Article in Canadian geriatrics journal : CGJ, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Frailty is a state of vulnerability to stressors which has long been a focus of Geriatric Medicine, and is gaining acceptance in other fields. The notion of frailty considers individuals, but many similarities exist between individuals and health care systems (HCS). We have drawn parallels between frail individuals and frail health care systems. We have adapted a commonly used measure of frailty-the "Frailty Phenotype", to measure HCS which are vulnerable to acute and chronic stresses. Finally, we note the "double jeopardy" of frail older adults within frail HCS. Ensuring that HCS remain robust and unlikely to fail should be a priority for health-care policy makers.
