Unfavourable Outcomes in Older Adults with Oral Frailty: A Scoping Review.
Article in Clinical interventions in aging, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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: The significant occurrence of oral frailty (OF) in older patients highlights the necessity of addressing this concern. OF is associated with complications and mortality in elderly patients. The objective of this study is to identify unfavorable outcomes in older patients with OF to increase awareness and mitigate risks. Methods: This review employed specific MeSH terms to perform an extensive literature search on OF and its unfavorable outcomes across PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and CINAHL databases. The review included English-language papers published from inception to March 31, 2024, focusing on individuals aged 60 and above, adverse outcomes related to OF, and studies employing cross-sectional or cohort designs. Results: The review comprised 28 articles: 20 cross-sectional and 8 prospective cohort studies. Among these articles, 10 were rated as "Good" and 18 as "Fair", reflecting the high quality of the literature. Next, 20 OF assessment tools were summarized, and the most frequently used methods for assessing OF were the methods of Tanaka et al and Oral Frailty Index-8 (OF-8). The most frequently unfavorable outcomes related to OF in the elderly were physical frailty, malnutrition, low dietary variety, social withdrawal, disability, and low gait speed. Conclusion: High levels of OF significantly increase the risk of adverse outcomes in older adults, including physical frailty, malnutrition, low dietary variety, social withdrawal, disability, and low gait speed. Effective risk stratification and management are essential to reduce these outcomes.
