Reliability of graded cycling test with talk test and 30-s chair-stand test in men with prostate cancer on androgen deprivation therapy.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeTo investigate the absolute and relative reliability of the "graded cycling test with talk test" (GCT-TT) and the "30-second chair-stand test" (30s-CST) in men with prostate cancer receiving androgen deprivation therapy (ADT).
methodsMen with prostate cancer on ADT were included in this test-retest study. GCT-TT and 30s-CST were performed twice with 1 hour between test sessions. All tests were conducted by two experienced physiotherapists and all patients were familiar with the tests. Only intra-tester reliability was investigated as the test and retest of each participant were performed by the same physiotherapist. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC
resultsSixty men were included with a mean age of 70.8 ± 6.6 (mean ± SD) years. All performed 30s-CST twice without any problems. Two participants were excluded from the analysis of the GCT-TT results. Relative reliability for 30s-CST (ICC
conclusionsThe reliability of 30s-CST and GCT-TT is substantial for men with prostate cancer receiving ADT. Overall, an average 30s-CST improvement of 1.9 repetitions on a group level and three repetitions for individual patients are considered real improvements. A GCT-TT improvement exceeding 19.9 W represents a real improvement for a group of patients. Individual patients need to improve two steps (30 W).
