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

purposeThis article is in response to the Letter of Garcia-Tabar et al. [Eur J Appl Physiol (in press), 2018] relating to the issue of post-test sensor calibration 'verification'. This issue is poorly addressed in contemporary patient-related position statements on cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET).

methodsPost-test sensor calibration verification approaches were compared.

resultThe potential impact on data quality of changing sensor calibration during the course of an exercise test was described.

conclusionIt is recommended that post-test sensor calibration verification be incorporated into existing CPET 'best practice'.
