Frailty and associated factors in women aged 65 years and older with breast cancer: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC geriatrics, 2026. 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
purposeTo investigate the prevalence of frailty and describe factors associated with frailty among women aged 65 years and older with breast cancer.
methodsThis single center cross-sectional study included women aged 65 years and older with breast cancer who were recruited from a tertiary cancer hospital between May 2023 and November 2023. Frailty was assessed using the Fried frailty phenotype. Sociodemographic, clinical, psychological, nutritional, cognitive, and social support data were collected through questionnaires and electronic medical records. Frailty status was described according to relevant factors using descriptive and comparative analyses.
resultsAmong the 227 participants, 138 (60.8%) were classified as frail. Frailty status differed significantly according to age, occupation, number of oral medications, history of falls, sleep quality, self-rated health status, tumor stage, radiotherapy history, and number of comorbidities.
conclusionsFrailty was common among women aged 65 years and older with breast cancer in this study. Several demographic and clinical characteristics were associated with frailty, highlighting the importance of routine frailty assessment and supportive care in this population.
