Integrated multidomain screening for geriatric vulnerability in primary care: a conceptual framework for community-dwelling older adults.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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: Older adults commonly experience overlapping anemia, malnutrition, functional decline, cognitive impairment, and cardiometabolic abnormalities. In primary care, these concerns are often assessed separately, which may limit recognition of multidimensional vulnerability. Objective: To develop a conceptual methodological framework for integrated multidomain screening of geriatric vulnerability in community-dwelling older adults. Methods: A 5-step framework was developed by integrating brief screening instruments and point-of-care measurements selected for clinical relevance, feasibility, and previous use in older populations. The framework includes capillary hemoglobin, capillary glucose, blood pressure, waist and calf circumferences, the calf circumference-based Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form, SARC-F, and the Rowland Universal Dementia Assessment Scale (RUDAS) or its Peruvian adaptation (PE-RUDAS) when cognitive screening is indicated. Results: The framework organizes haematologic, nutritional, functional, cognitive, and cardiometabolic screening into 8 conceptual phenotypes using a factorial structure. Nutritional and cardiometabolic findings function as operational modifiers. Conclusion: The framework is intended to complement, not replace, comprehensive geriatric assessment and other integrated approaches. It does not provide diagnostic or prognostic estimates. Content validation, feasibility, reliability, diagnostic performance, and implementation studies are needed before routine use.
