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

Purpose: This research aimed to explore the impact of multidimensional frailty-comprising physical, psychological, and social domains-on quality of life (QoL) in adults aged 65 years and older, with an emphasis on sex differences. Methods: A secondary analysis was conducted using data from the seventh to ninth waves (2018~2022) of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging. Frailty was operationalized using proxy indicators conceptually aligned with the physical, psychological, and social domains defined by the Tilburg Frailty Indicator. QoL was evaluated using a self-reported, single-item scale. Generalized estimating equations were used to investigate the relationships between each frailty domain and QoL by sex while controlling for pertinent covariates. Results: Overall frailty significantly reduced QoL in both men (B = -7.98, Conclusion: These results underscore the importance of implementing a multidimensional, sex-sensitive framework for assessing and managing frailty. Nurses should conduct comprehensive frailty evaluations and implement tailored strategies to address each domain of frailty, particularly in community settings. The results also support integrating multidimensional frailty concepts into nursing education and practice to enhance QoL in aging populations.
