Functional capacity testing in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) using the one-minute sit-to-stand test (1-min STST).
Article in PloS one, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 9 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
backgroundThe one-minute sit-to-stand-test (1-min STST) is a quick, space saving test to evaluate functional capacity. Exercise testing plays an important role in the long-term follow-up of pulmonary hypertension (PH) patients and is currently evaluated using the six-minute-walk-test (6MWT). The aim of the study was to assess the convergent validity of the 1-min STST in patients with PH and its association with markers of PH severity.
methodsWe evaluated 106 PH patients with the 1-min-STST and 6MWT and measured cardiorespiratory parameters (heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation) before and after test conduction. N-terminal pro brain-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), WHO functional class (WHO-FC) and mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) were defined as markers of PH severity.
resultsStrong correlation was found between performances of 1-min STST and 6MWT (r = .711, p < .001), indicating convergent validity. Both tests were inversely associated with NT-proBNP (STST: r = -.405, p < .001; 6MWT: r = -.358, p < .001), WHO-FC (STST: r = -.591, p < .001; 6MWT: r = -.643, p < .001) and mPAP (STST: r = -.280, p < .001; 6MWT: r = -.250, p < .001). Significant changes in cardiorespiratory parameters were observed in both tests (all p < 0.001). Further the post-exercise cardiorespiratory parameters correlated strongly between the 1-min STST and 6MWT (all r ≥ .651, all p < .001).
conclusionThe 1-min STST demonstrated good convergent validity with the 6MWT and was associated with markers of PH severity. Furthermore, both exercise tests caused similar cardiorespiratory responses.
