1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine if the Incremental Shuttle Walk Test (ISWT) can elicit similar patient responses as a treadmill stress test in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods: Both the stress test and the ISWT were performed by 172 participants, aged 60.67±10.23 years. We screened participants for unstable angina, severe aortic stenosis, uncontrolled hypertension, and excluded if unable to walk on a treadmill. Outcome measures (signs and symptoms) included: i) patient-reported chest pain; ii) patient-reported breathlessness/exhaustion and not being able to keep up with test protocol; and iii) able to reach target HR Results: During the stress test, 15 participants reported chest pain, 23 participants reached target HR Conclusion: A maximal effort stress test is better at eliciting ischemic signs and symptoms and a superior tool for diagnosis of progression or severity of CAD than the ISWT. Appropriate selection of exercise tests is important in the clinical setting.
