Using the Short Physical Performance Battery for Frailty Screenings Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults: An ROC Analysis.

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 highly prevalent and adverse syndrome among older adults, and there are many different assessments for screening both frailty (robust + pre-frail vs. frail) and frailty process (robust vs. pre-frail + frail). Previous studies have suggested that the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) can be used as a quick screening tool for frailty, demonstrating excellent agreement when compared to Fried's phenotype as a criterion. However, to the best of our knowledge, no study has assessed the SPPB's diagnostic accuracy using the FRAIL questionnaire as the criterion. In this cross-sectional study, we compared frailty (SPPB ≤ 8) and frailty process (SPPB ≤ 10) classifications for 371 community-dwelling older adults (≥60 yrs) by the SPPB to the FRAIL questionnaire using McNemar tables and a receiver operator characteristic analysis. The SPPB and the FRAIL questionnaire significantly differed in their appraisal of both frailty and frailty process (
