Empowering the vulnerable in internal medicine: a narrative review on physical exercise as a tool to tackle frailty.
Review in Internal and emergency medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Frailty is an increasingly recognized issue in internal medicine, which develops as a consequence of age-related decline in multiple physiological systems, underlying a vulnerable state of health due to poor homeostatic resources. Rapid muscle exhaustion, muscle weakness, dynapaenia, and sarcopenia are common features of frail patients. Indeed, frailty is associated with an increased risk of hospitalization and mortality, and it may be reversed through physical activity and other lifestyle interventions, so to prevent the decline of physical and mental functioning. We herein sought to describe in a narrative fashion the current knowledge about frailty and physical exercise, focusing only on original articles in which frailty was detected and quantified according to international, validated scales or other methods. We will finally discuss future perspectives with regard to the applications of physical exercise in the prevention or treatment of frailty.
