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

African American (AA) adults are reported to have lower levels of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) as compared to Caucasian adults. CRF is linked to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. We hypothesized that the disparities start early in childhood. This was a retrospective analysis of the cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET). We included normal healthy children, ≤ 18 years of age, who had normal electrocardiograms and normal cardiac function. We excluded patients with congenital heart disease, obesity and suboptimal exercise test. The entire cohort was divided into two groups based on race (Caucasian vs. AA) and then further subcategorized by gender. The cohort of 248 patients had a mean ± SD age of 14.4 ± 2.1 years. 158 (60.8%) were males and 158 (60.8%) were Caucasians. Oxygen consumption was higher among Caucasian children when compared to the AA children (48.7 ± 7.9 vs. 45.4 ± 7 mL/kg/min, p = 0.01). This racial disparity continued to persist when comparisons were performed separately for girls and boys. Upon comparing the four groups, the AA females were found to have the lowest values of VO
