Moderators of peak respiratory exchange ratio during exercise testing in children and adolescents with Fontan physiology.

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
objectivesMany patients with Fontan physiology are unable to achieve the minimum criteria for peak effort during cardiopulmonary exercise testing. The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of physical activity and other clinical predictors related to achieving peak exercise criteria, signified by respiratory exchange ratio ≥ 1.1 in youth with Fontan physiology.
methodsSecondary analysis of a cross-sectional study of 8-18-year-olds with single ventricle post-Fontan palliation who underwent cardiopulmonary exercise testing (James cycle protocol) and completed a past-year physical activity survey. Bivariate associations were assessed by Wilcoxon rank-sum test and simple regression. Conditional inference forest algorithm was used to classify participants achieving respiratory exchange ratio > 1.1 and to predict peak respiratory exchange ratio.
resultsOf the n = 43 participants, 65% were male, mean age was 14.0 ± 2.4 years, and 67.4% (n = 29) achieved respiratory exchange ratio ≥ 1.1. Despite some cardiopulmonary exercise stress test variables achieving statistical significance in bivariate associations with participants achieving respiratory exchange ratio > 1.1, the classification accuracy had area under the precision recall curve of 0.55. All variables together explained 21.4% of the variance in respiratory exchange ratio, with peak oxygen pulse being the most informative.
conclusionDemographic, physical activity, and cardiopulmonary exercise test measures could not classify meeting peak exercise criteria (respiratory exchange ratio ≥ 1.1) at a satisfactory accuracy. Correlations between respiratory exchange ratio and oxygen pulse suggest the augmentation of stroke volume with exercise may affect the Fontan patient's ability to sustain high-intensity exercise.
