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

Geriatric assessment (GA) is underused in oncology because clinic-based implementation is time- and resource-intensive, limiting routine evaluation of frailty and treatment tolerance. Existing digital tools often rely on proprietary devices and closed analytic pipelines. We developed the Geriatric Remote Initiative (GeRI), an open-source platform integrating a wrist-worn accelerometer, smart scale, and tablet interface with reproducible analytics and triggerable surveys. GeRI was evaluated in a 12-week home deployment among 10 men aged ≥65 years receiving androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer. Self-rated health and symptom surveys triggered 48-h accelerometry windows, initiated by pressing "Start monitoring" on the watch. Engagement was defined
