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

[Purpose] We aimed to evaluate the validity and reproducibility of the incremental sit-to-stand exercise test for aerobic fitness evaluation in healthy middle-aged individuals. [Participants and Methods] Thirteen healthy middle-aged individuals randomly underwent the incremental sit-to-stand exercise and cycle ergometer tests, and the peak oxygen uptake was measured during both tests. Pearson's correlation coefficients were used to assess the strength of the association between the peak oxygen uptake measured during the aforementioned tests. Intraclass correlation coefficients with 95% confidence intervals for peak oxygen uptake obtained during the first, second, and third incremental sit-to-stand exercise tests were used to determine the reproducibility of this test. [Results] The peak oxygen uptake measured during the incremental sit-to-stand exercise test was strongly associated with that measured during the cycle ergometer test (r=0.86). The intraclass correlation coefficients (95% confidence intervals) used to verify the association of the peak oxygen uptake between the first and the second incremental sit-to-stand exercise tests and between the second and third incremental sit-to-stand exercise tests were 0.92 (0.66-0.99) and 0.96 (0.82-0.99), respectively. [Conclusion] The incremental sit-to-stand exercise test is a valid and reproducible tool to evaluate aerobic fitness in healthy middle-aged individuals.
