The five times sit-to-stand test predicts achievable exercise intensity during stress echocardiography.

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
Aims: Exercise stress echocardiography (ESE) is becoming increasingly important in assessing heart failure and valvular diseases; however, determining optimal exercise intensity remains challenging, particularly in patients with physical disorders. Methods and results: A total of 94 patients scheduled for ESE were enrolled in the study. Physical capability was assessed using the five times sit-to-stand test (5-STS), Clinical Frailty Scale, acronyms of the five components, namely strength, assistance with walking, rising from a chair, climbing stairs, and falls (SARC-F) questionnaire, grip strength test, and bioelectrical impedance analysis. In the derivation cohort ( Conclusion: Sarcopenia-related indices, particularly the 5-STS, effectively and simply predicted achievable exercise intensity during ESE, independent of age and sex. The use of these indices to determine the initial load may help optimize ESE protocols for individual patients.
