The application value of frailty assessment tools in the perioperative period: A narrative review.
Review in Journal of anesthesia and translational medicine, 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
Frailty is a clinical syndrome characterized by reduced physiological reserves and multisystem dysfunction, which markedly elevates the risk of postoperative complications and delayed functional recovery, and increases mortality. Amid the rapidly aging global population, the proportion of surgical patients with frailty is steadily increasing, presenting substantial challenges for perioperative management. Conventional preoperative assessment tools have significant limitations in identifying frailty and predicting surgical outcomes, while the clinical utility of emerging assessment methods requires further systematic evaluation. This review provides a comprehensive overview of preoperative frailty assessment tools. It critically examines recent advances from 2019 to 2025 and incorporates seminal foundational studies that established core concepts and validated key early instruments. The analysis evaluates their comparative efficacy, clinical utility in perioperative care, and existing limitations, aiming to offer scholars and clinicians a balanced and insightful perspective rather than an exhaustive summary of all available evidence.
