Development of a physical performance summary score in middle age: Findings from the CARDIA Function study.
Article in American journal of epidemiology, 2025. 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
Few physical performance batteries exist that appropriately evaluate physical limitations in middle-aged adults. We aimed to develop a physical performance summary score that is appropriate for use in epidemiology studies of middle-aged adults using data from the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) Function study, which assessed self-reported function (PROMIS-SF20a) and physical performance measures (gait speed, balance, lower body strength, grip strength, and cardiovascular endurance). The CARDIA Physical Performance (CAPP) score was developed using sex-specific quartiles, assigning points based on these quartiles (0 for not attempted, 1-4 for each quartile), and summing points across all performance measures (0-20, higher scores reflect greater performance). We also examined the relationship between CAPP score and other function-related measures (physical activity, quality of life, sedentary behavior, body mass index, and waist circumference). Among 2021 CARDIA Function participants (mean age: 60.0 ± 3.6 years; 58% female; 44% Black), a 1-point higher CAPP score (μ = 12.3 ± 4.1) was associated with a 0.85 higher PROMIS-SF20a score (β = 0.85, P < .001). CAPP score had a canonical correlation coefficient of 0.63 (P < .0001), suggesting a strong correlation with other function-related measures. CAPP score captured a wide range of physical performance and was correlated with self-reported function and other function-related measures.
