Prospective Cohort Study Examining the Ability of Performance-Based and Self-Reported Frailty Measures to Predict 30-Day Rehospitalizations After Kidney Transplantation.
Observational study in Clinical transplantation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Performance-based measures of frailty are associated with healthcare utilization after kidney transplantation (KT) but require in-person assessment. A promising alternative is self-reported frailty. The goal of this study was to examine the ability of performance-based and self-reported frailty measures to predict 30-day rehospitalizations after KT. We conducted a prospective, observational cohort study involving 272 adults undergoing KT at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, Florida, or Arizona. We simultaneously measured frailty before KT using the physical frailty phenotype (PFP), the short physical performance battery (SPPB), and self-report (the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System [PROMIS] 4-item physical function short form v2.0). Both the PFP and self-reported frailty were independently associated with more than a 2-fold greater odds of 30-day rehospitalizations, while the SPPB was not. To our knowledge, this is the first study to assess the prognostic value of all three of the above frailty measures in patients undergoing KT. The PFP is more prognostic than the SPPB when assessing the risk of 30-day rehospitalizations; self-reported frailty can complement the PFP but not replace it. However, the 4-item survey assessing self-reported frailty represents a simple way to identify patients undergoing KT surgery who would benefit from interventions to lower the risk of rehospitalizations.
