Short Physical Performance Battery: What Does Each Sub-Test Measure in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease?
Article in Chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (Miami, Fla.), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
objectiveTo identify phenotypic factors associated with the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) and its individual sub-tests: standing balance, 4‑meter gait speed (4mGS) and 5-repetition sit-to-stand (5STS).
methodsThe Evaluation of the Role of Inflammation in non-pulmonary disease manifestations in Chronic Airways disease (ERICA) study recruited adult participants with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Proportional odds models identified factors associated with the SPPB, and a principal component analysis (PCA) evaluated how much SPPB variance was explainable by each of its 3 sub-tests.
resultsOf 729 enrolled participants, 717 (60% male, mean age 67 years) had full SPPB data. Overall, 76% of patients had some evidence of functional limitations (SPPB total score < 12). Scores < 4 were observed in 71%, 31%, and 22% of participants for the 5STS, 4mGS, and balance sub-tests, respectively. A longer 6-minute walk test and greater quadriceps maximal voluntary contraction decreased the odds of being in a lower score category for SPPB total score and for all 3 sub-tests. Aging, self-reported hypertension and higher dyspnea increased the odds, and being married decreased the odds of being in a lower category for total score. All sub-tests contributed equally to total score.
conclusionEach of the 3 sub-tests contributed independent information to the SPPB, demonstrating their usefulness for assessing COPD when considered together rather than individually. The 5STS sub-test had the greatest variation in scores and may thus have the best discriminatory power for clinical COPD studies of lower limb performance where only one SPPB test is feasible.
