A frailty-intrinsic capacity index to predict disability in community-dwelling older Japanese adults.
Article in JAR life, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Purpose: We constructed and validated a frailty-intrinsic capacity (FR-IC) index for predicting disability in community-dwelling older Japanese adults. Methods: This longitudinal cohort study included 1179 participants aged ≥60 years (mean age: 71.3 ± 7.4 years, 51 % men). A multidisciplinary geriatric team constructed a 35-item FR-IC index (score range: 0: robust to 1: severe frailty, accumulation model) comprising 15 domains incorporating the intrinsic capacity concept (IC-Vision, IC-Hearing, IC-Locomotor capacity, IC-Cognition, IC-Vitality, and IC-Psychological capacity) based on questionnaires widely used in Japan. To test predictive validity, age- and sex-adjusted Cox proportional hazard models estimated hazard ratios (HRs) for incident disability (care need levels ≥1) by FR-IC index quartiles using the cohort study's existing data. Results: The mean FR-IC index score (32 items, three missing) was 0.08±0.05 (range: 0.00-0.31). During a mean follow-up of 9.0 ± 2.8 years, 284 (24 %) adults developed a disability. Compared with the lowest quartile, the adjusted HRs for developing an incident disability in the second to fourth quartiles were 2.32 (95 % confidence interval: 1.15-5.33), 3.18 (1.64-7.15), and 4.15 (2.14-9.32), respectively. The area under the curve of the FR-IC index for incident disability was 0.86. Among healthy participants, defined as robust by the baseline phenotypic physical frailty assessment ( Conclusions: The novel FR-IC index can predict future disability among community-dwelling older Japanese adults. Integrating IC into frailty assessments provides a more comprehensive measure of aging.
