Prognostic value of the 11-factor modified frailty index for early postoperative outcomes in elderly lung transplant recipients: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 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
Background: Frailty is increasingly recognized as a key determinant of surgical outcomes, yet few data describe the prognostic value of the 11-factor modified frailty index (mFI-11) in elderly lung transplant recipients. We aimed to assess the prognostic value of mFI-11 for early postoperative outcomes, including 30- and 90-day mortality and major complications in elderly lung transplant recipients. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients aged ≥65 years who underwent lung transplantation at The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University between September 2019 and January 2025. mFI-11 scores were calculated from 11 preoperative comorbidities/functional impairments; frailty was defined as mFI-11 ≥3. Uni- and multivariable regression models were used to examine associations between frailty and 30- and 90-day mortality, postoperative complications, and intensive care unit (ICU) hospital length of stay (LOS). Results: Among 144 elderly recipients, 69 (47.9%) were frail. Frail patients had significantly higher 90-day mortality (33.33% Conclusions: mFI-11 is a clinically significant predictor of early mortality and postoperative complications in elderly lung transplant recipients and may support risk stratification and targeted perioperative management.
