Declined intrinsic capacity is associated with one-year functional disability in older hypertensive inpatients.
Observational study in BMC geriatrics, 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
backgroundHypertension is one of the prominent modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVD), and its prevalence is continuously increasing each year, contributing significantly to mortality and disability in older adults in China and even worldwide. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of declined intrinsic capacity (IC) on the risk of 1-year functional disability in older hypertensive inpatients.
methodsA total of 233 hypertensive elderly from Zhejiang Hospital in China were included in this retrospective observational study. Five domains of IC including cognition, locomotion, vitality, psychology, and sensory capacity were assessed at admission. Functional disability was defined as new dependencies in activities of daily living (ADL) over a 1-year follow-up period. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to investigate the relationships between IC domains at baseline and 1-year functional disability.
resultsThe incidence of decline in five domains of IC, including cognition, locomotion, vitality, psychology, sensory (vision and hearing status) capacity were 28.8%, 55.8%, 27.9%, 12.4%, 42.9% and 63.1% respectively. Both systolic blood pressure (SBP) and pulse pressure (PP) were negatively linked to the IC composite score, and specifically with two domains of IC, including cognition and locomotion (P < 0.05). During the 1-year follow-up, 50 participants (21.5%) experienced functional disability. After adjusting for confounding factors, multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that a higher IC composite score on admission was associated with a lower one-year risk of functional disability (odds ratio [OR] = 0.57, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.40-0.80, P = 0.001); cognitive decline and locomotion impairment predicted 1-year functional disability in older hypertensive inpatients (OR = 3.08, 95% CI: 1.41-6.69, P = 0.005; OR = 3.35, 95% CI: 1.30-8.63, P = 0.012).
conclusionsDeclined cognition and locomotion increased the risk of functional disability 1 year after discharge, early prevention and management of declined intrinsic capacity is critically important among hypertensive elderly.
