The Modified-30-Seconds-Chair-Stand-Test: A Practical and Reproducible Tool to Assess Muscle Strength in Acutely Ill Hospitalized Geriatric Patients.

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
Objectives: Acutely ill hospitalized geriatric patients with sarcopenia have a poor clinical outcome. The European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People-2 (EWGSOP-2) recommends measuring handgrip strength (HGS) or the 5-times-repeated-Chair-Stand-Test (5t-CST) to assess muscle strength. The modified-thirty-seconds-Chair-Stand-Test (m-30s-CST) is expected to be more feasible than the 5t-CST and probably a better proxy for physical function compared to HGS. The aim of the study is to test the feasibility and reliability of the m-30s-CST in these patients. Methods: 92 patients (aged 84±6 y, mean GFI score of 6.1± 2.9, 53.5% female) participated. The m-30s-CST was performed at 3 different occasions. Feasibility was measured at admission and test-retest reliability at the day before and of discharge. Additionally Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), ADL-Barthel-Index (ADL-BI) and HGS were assessed. Results: The m-30s-CST is a significant more feasible test compared to the 5t-CST (n=92; 76.1% versus 20.1%; P<0.001), with a intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of 0.954 (n=59; CI-95%:0.921-0.973; P<0.001). The m-30s-CST has compared to HGS a significant better correlation with the ADL-BI and with the SPPB. Conclusion: The m-30s-CST is a feasible and reliable method to assess muscle strength and is compared to HGS a better proxy for physical performance in geriatric patients.
