Usual-paced 400 m long distance corridor walk estimates cardiorespiratory fitness among older adults: The Study of Muscle, Mobility and Aging.
Article in Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundCardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), the gold-standard method to quantify cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), is not always feasible due to cost, access, and burden. The usual-paced 400 m long distance corridor walk (LDCW), a measure of mobility among older adults, may provide an alternate method to assess CRF. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate an estimating equation to estimate VO
methodsAt baseline, women (58%) and men age 70 years and older enrolled in SOMMA (N = 820, 76.2 ± 4.9 years, 86% Non-Hispanic White) completed a 400 m LDCW (400 m WS = 400 m/completion time in seconds) and symptom-limited maximal CPET (Modified Balke Protocol). VO
resultsMean VO
conclusionsUsual-paced 400 m LDCW strongly correlates with direct measures of CRF during CPET in older adults with lower fitness and can be used to test both fitness and function.
