Criterion Validity of Screening Tools and Field-Based Tests for Health-Related Physical Fitness in Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
Article in Digestive diseases and sciences, 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
backgroundMonitoring health-related physical fitness (HRPF) may benefit proactive Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) management. However, knowledge regarding HRPF in patients with IBD is limited and gold standard tests are impractical for widespread use, necessitating simpler methods.
aimThis study evaluated the criterion validity of screening tools and field-based tests compared to gold standard tests for HRPF in patients with IBD.
methodsAdult patients with IBD completed screening tools, field-based tests, and gold standard tests for HRPF. Criterion validity was examined through (intraclass) correlation coefficients and Bland-Altman plots. Predictive capacity of the screening tools was examined with receiver operating curve analysis.
resultsAmong 53 included patients, screening tools demonstrated poor-to-moderate validity compared to the cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) for cardiorespiratory fitness. Very strong correlations were found for four-site skinfold thickness and multi-frequency bioimpedance analysis (BIA) with deuterium oxide dilution for body fat percentage (ICC = 0.90, ICC = 0.93), and between the steep ramp test and CPET (r = 0.95) for cardiorespiratory fitness. The steep ramp test also correlated strongly with isokinetic quadriceps (r > 0.75) and hamstring (r > 0.74) strength. Hand-held dynamometry and the sit-to-stand test showed strong correlations with hamstring strength (r > 0.80, r > 0.76). Negligible correlations were found for field-based tests compared to isokinetic quadriceps and hamstring endurance.
conclusionsFour-site skinfold thickness and BIA showed good agreement with the gold standard for body fat measurement. The steep ramp test demonstrated strong correlations with the gold standard tests for cardiorespiratory fitness and quadriceps and hamstring strength, while hand-held dynamometry and the sit-to-stand test showed strong correlations with hamstring strength.
