Cardiopulmonary exercise testing and body composition.
Article in ERJ open research, 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
Background: The cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) evaluates cardiopulmonary function. In light of the obesity epidemic, it is important to understand how body composition affects interpretation of CPET results. The aim of the present study was to assess the relationship between CPET measures, other than peak oxygen uptake, and body composition. Method: A total of 330 participants, aged 50 years, performed both a CPET and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). From the CPET, peak exercise respiratory exchange ratio (RER), ventilatory efficiency ( Results: RER was negatively correlated with body composition measures; the strongest correlation was observed with waist circumference in females (r= -0.36). Conclusion: RER and Δ
