The five times sit-to-stand test predicts same-day discharge for outpatients undergoing total joint arthroplasty.

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 examine whether a patient's pre-operatively administered five times sit-to-stand (FTSTS) test score, when used alone or when combined with previously established predictors, relates to same-day discharge (SDD) after total knee or hip arthroplasty.
methodsThis study utilized a multivariate, retrospective, observational design. Electronic medical record data for included participants were used to analyze the relationship between the patient factors (including the novel FTSTS variable) and the SDD outcome. Univariate and multiple variable regression modeling was undertaken to understand the strength of the relationship between the independent variables with the dependent variable. Receiver operating curve (ROC) analysis was performed to determine the area under the curve (AUC) for the novel model. Cut score analysis was performed to establish the score which has the greatest utility for stratifying patients based upon their likelihood of achieving SDD.
resultsAll independent variables related to the SDD outcome with varying effect sizes. The dichotomized FTSTS score related to the SDD outcome with medium effect (Exp(B) = 2.56). The score of 13.6 s was established as the point where the test was most highly sensitive and specific. The combined model including all included patient characteristics had a classification accuracy of 64.7% and an area under the curve score of .724.
conclusionThe FTSTS score had higher predictive accuracy than all other stand-alone patient characteristics for the SDD outcome.
