Prevalence and predictors of frailty among community-dwelling older adults with hypertension in China.

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
objectiveThe aim of the study was to determine the prevalence, socio-demographic, and health-related predictors of frailty among community-dwelling elderly Chinese with hypertension.
methodsIt's a cross-sectional survey design among 338 respondents; the Chinese version of the Tilburg Frailty Assessment Scale was used to screen elderly hypertensive adults for frailty. The socio-demographic data were collected using a self-developed questionnaire. Data collected were analyzed using binary logistic regressions at a of 95%CI.
resultsThe result of the study shows that the prevalence of frailty among community-dwelling older adults with hypertension in Henan province was 32.5%. The result of the socio-demographic predictors was being a female (p=0.001, OR 3.669 [CI 1.967-6.843]) and living in a rural area (p=0.032, OR 3.487 [CI 1.116-10.898]). While the leading health predictors were found to be a comorbidity of three or more conditions (p=0.001, OR 57.233 [CI 21.883-149.689]); history of hypertension spanning longer than 11 years (p=0.001, OR 10.541 [CI 5.404-20.561]).
conclusionMore attention should be focused on elderly hypertensive women to reduce the impact.
