Frailty: a new vulnerability indicator in people aging with HIV.
Review in European geriatric medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeTo review the concept of frailty and its measurement, describe the existing data on frailty in people living with HIV, examine the limits of frailty as a marker of vulnerability in people living with HIV, and explore how frailty measurement could be incorporated into HIV care.
methodsNarrative literature review.
resultsFrailty is an emerging marker of vulnerability that is increasingly being assessed among people aging with HIV. Which frailty measurement tool is best for people with HIV has not yet been established, and likely depends on clinical context. Evaluation of vulnerability should take into account social and structural factors. Frailty assessment can be incorporated into clinical care as a part of comprehensive geriatric assessment. Models of HIV-geriatric care are being established.
conclusionsAs a group, people with HIV are aging and increasingly face multiple interacting age-related medical and social problems. It requires remarkable resilience to age successfully with HIV. The clinical care of people aging with HIV could benefit from a focus on frailty and related social vulnerability to better understand patients' needs and develop appropriate goals and care plans.
