1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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/

objectiveCulturally adapted frailty screening tools are essential for improving health outcomes, facilitating clinical decision-making, promoting effective care planning, and ensuring accurate frailty assessment across diverse cultural contexts; their use among clinicians and academics is therefore supported. The purpose of this study was to assess internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and validity of the Arabic FRAIL scale (FRAIL-AR scale) for Arabic-speaking populations with colorectal cancer (CRC).

methodsThis cross-sectional study included 137 participants diagnosed with CRC who completed the FRAIL-AR scale, the EORTC QLQ-C30 physical function subscale, and functional performance-based Timed Up and Go (TUG) and Five Times Sit-to-Stand (5xSTS) tasks. Internal consistency was assessed using Kuder-Richardson formula 20 (KR-20), and test-retest reliability was determined using the two-way random intraclass correlation coefficient ICC

resultsThe FRAIL-AR scale exhibited good internal consistency (KR-20 = 0.80) and test-retest reliability (ICC

conclusionThe FRAIL-AR scale's validity and reliability make it an appropriate tool for geriatricians, oncologists, and healthcare providers to evaluate and monitor frailty among Arabic-speaking colorectal cancer patients.
