Erythrocyte levels of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and incidence of frailty after a 6-year follow-up: the Korean frailty and aging cohort study.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Previous studies have shown that the blood levels of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are inversely associated with the prevalence of frailty, but associations with frailty incidence remain unknown. We examined the hypothesis that the erythrocyte levels of n-3 PUFA such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are inversely associated with the incidence of frailty after a 6-year follow-up. Using the Korean Frailty and Aging Cohort Study data, 1,119 community-dwelling Korean participants aged 70-84 years without frailty were observed for 6 years. Frailty was defined using the Cardiovascular Health Study index. In the multivariable adjusted model, the incidence of frailty was 11.1% after a 6-year follow-up and inversely associated with the Omega-3 Index (sum of EPA + DHA) (HR: 0.47; 95% CI: 0.27-0.84;
