Short physical performance battery vs. 6-minute walking test in hospitalized elderly patients with heart failure.

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
Aims: Functional decline due to skeletal muscle abnormalities leads to poor outcomes in patients with acute heart failure (AHF). The 6-minute walking test (6MWT) reliably evaluates functional capacity, but its technical difficulty for the elderly often limits its benefits. Although the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) is a comprehensive measure of physical performance, its role in AHF remains unclear. This study aimed to examine the prognostic significance of SPPB compared to the 6MWT in elderly patients hospitalized for AHF. Methods and results: We retrospectively analysed 1192 elderly patients with AHF whose SPPB and 6MWT were measured during the hospitalization. The primary outcome measure was defined as a composite of all-cause death and heart failure readmission until 1 year after discharge. Patients with lower SPPB scores (0-6, Conclusions: Reduced functional capacity assessed by either the SPPB or 6MWT was associated with worse outcomes in hospitalized elderly patients with AHF. The incremental prognostic value over the conventional risk factors was higher in 6MWT than in SPPB. Trial Registration: UMIN000023929.
