[Validity of the PEDOMETER® mobile application for evaluating cardiorespiratory fitness and fatigue resistance in cardiac rehabilitation. A pilot study].

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
backgroundA mobile application (app) may facilitate the administration of the 6-minute walk test (6MWT), a commonly used tool in cardiac rehabilitation. This pilot study, conducted with cardiac rehabilitation patients, aimed to evaluate: 1) the criterion validity of the PEDOMETER® app compared to the 6MWT in assessing cardiorespiratory fitness and fatigue resistance, and 2) the construct validity of the PEDOMETER ® app in relation to the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the Health Index of the EuroQol-5D 3L questionnaire (EQ-5D).
methodsTwenty patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation at HM Puerta del Sur Hospital (Mostoles, Spain) performed the 6MWT while using the PEDOMETER ® app on a smartphone worn on their arm. Pearson's correlation coefficient was calculated to assess the relationship between the distance recorded in meters during the 6MWT and that recorded by the app, as well as between the app and the anxiety and depression dimensions of the HADS, and the Health Index EQ-5D.
resultsThe criterion validity of the 6MWT and the PEDOMETER ® app was excellent (r = 0.981; p < 0.001). Regarding construct validity, the app showed a moderate negative correlation with the depression dimension of the HADS (r= -0.493), but not with the anxiety dimension or the EQ-5D.
conclusionsThe free PEDOMETER ® app demonstrates excellent criterion validity when compared to the 6MWT. The app shows a moderate negative correlation with the depression dimension of the HADS.
