Short-term changes in frailty status and associated factors over 3 months of multidisciplinary outpatient care in older adults.
Article in Journal of physical therapy science, 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
[Purpose] To examine short-term changes in frailty status over 3 months in older adults attending a hospital-based frailty outpatient clinic and to identify factors associated with frailty improvement. [Participants and Methods] This retrospective observational study included 100 community-dwelling adults aged ≥60 years who attended a hospital-based frailty outpatient clinic and were classified as frail or pre-frail at baseline. The outpatient care program included medical evaluation, nutritional counseling, and individualized home exercise instruction. Frailty was assessed using the Japanese Cardiovascular Health Study criteria at baseline and after 3 months. [Results] Frailty status improved in 51% of participants after 3 months. Among the frailty components, slow walking speed and exhaustion showed the greatest improvements. In multivariable logistic regression analysis, daily home exercise adherence was independently associated with frailty improvement, whereas exercising several days per week or not exercising was associated with significantly lower odds of improvement. [Conclusion] Frailty status improved in approximately half of the participants during 3 months of multidisciplinary outpatient care. Daily home exercise frequency was independently associated with frailty improvement in this real-world clinical setting.
