Feasibility of Seated Stepping and Handshaking as a Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing: A Pilot Study.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Cardiopulmonary function is usually assessed by cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX) using a cycle ergometer (CE-CPX) or a treadmill, which is difficult in patients with lower extremity motor dysfunction. A stepping and handshaking (SHS) exercise has been developed that can be performed safely and easily while sitting on a chair. This study compared peak oxygen uptake (peak V.O2) between CE-CPX and SHS-CPX in healthy adults and investigated the safety and validity of SHS-CPX. Twenty young adults (mean age 27.8 ± 4.4 years) were randomly assigned to perform CE-CPX or SHS-CPX, with the other test to follow 1-2 weeks later. The peak V.O2, respiratory exchange ratio (RER), peak heart rate, blood pressure, and test completion time were compared between CE-CPX and SHS-CPX. All subjects completed the examination and met the criteria for peak V.O2. SHS-CPX and CE-CPX showed a strong correlation with peak V.O2 (r = 0.85,
