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
Background: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of oral frailty, a significant geriatric syndrome, among hospitalized older adults with chronic diseases, and to develop a corresponding risk prediction model to facilitate early screening and intervention. Methods: From September 2024 to May 2025, we recruited 443 older adult patients with chronic diseases from two tertiary grade A hospitals in Wuhu City, Anhui Province, using a convenience sampling method. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, the Oral Frailty Index-8 (OFI-8), the FRAIL scale, the Appetite Scale, and the Clinical Physiological Resilience Scale. Binary logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify factors associated with oral frailty. Results: The prevalence of oral frailty among hospitalized older adult patients with chronic diseases was 69.3%(307/443). Appetite, employment status, age, Clinical physiological resilience, and frailty were the best predictors of oral frailty in hospitalized older adult patients with chronic diseases. These influencing factors were utilized to construct a nomogram model, which demonstrated excellent consistency and accuracy. The area under the curve (AUC) in the training set was 0.805 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.753-0.857). In the validation set, the AUC was 0.900 (95% CI = 0.843-0.957). The Hosmer-Lemeshow test values were Conclusion: The prevalence of oral frailty is notably high among hospitalized older adult patients with chronic diseases, with key influencing factors including age, employment status, appetite, and clinical physiological resilience. The developed risk prediction model demonstrates good calibration and discriminative ability, supporting its potential use in early screening and targeted intervention of oral frailty in this population.
