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 AND
aimIn this study, we aimed to investigate the exercise tolerance in Sarcoidosis patients with sit-to-stand method Methods: In our cross-sectional study 49 consecutive Sarcoidosis patients included in the study. Patients with Sarcoidosis performed 5 repeated sit-to-stand, 1 minute sit-to-stand test (1MSTS) and the 6-minute walking test (6MWT). Moreover, we collected pulmonary function test, sarcoidosis stage, treatment status, body max index, quadriceps muscle strength. A receiver operating characteristic curve analysis of the 5STS and 1MSTS results was used to predict 6-minute walk distance (6MWD). We evaluated their feelings about the two end STST modes by Borg dyspnea score.
resultsThe average age of the patients was 49 ± 19. Four patients had stage 3 sarcoidosis, while the others had stage 1 sarcoidosis. The average 6MWD result of all patients was 410 ± 153 meters. When we looked at the correlations between 5RSTS and 1MSTS in 6MWT, significant correlations were observed (r=0.454, p=0.00) (r=0.373, p=0.08). A significant correlation was observed between 1MRSTS and 5RSTS with quadriceps muscle strength (r=0.677, p=0.00) (r=0.48, p=0.00).
conclusionsBased on the results of our study, 1MSTS, 5RSTS, and 6MWT have similar correlations. Both are reasonable tests that can replace the 6MWT in sarcoidosis patients. As a primary screening test for predicting poor 6MWD, the 5STS is similar to the 1MSTS in terms of sensitivity and specificity, but the 5STS provides a better patient experience.
