Body composition, maximal fitness, and submaximal exercise function in people with interstitial lung disease.

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
backgroundCardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is feasible, valid, reliable, and clinically useful in interstitial lung disease (ILD). However, maximal CPET values are often presented relative to body mass, whereas fat-free mass (FFM) may better reflect metabolically active muscle during exercise. Moreover, despite the value of maximal parameters, people with ILD do not always exercise maximally and therefore clinically relevant submaximal parameters must be identified. Therefore, this study assessed peak oxygen uptake (VO
methodsParticipants with ILD underwent assessment of body composition and CPET via cycle ergometry during a single study visit. To determined effectiveness of scaling for body size, both body mass and FFM were scaled using ratio-standard (X/Y) and allometric (X/Y
resultsA total of 24 participants (7 female; 69.8 ± 7.5 years; 17 with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis) with ILD completed the study. Maximal exercise parameters did not require allometric scaling, and when scaled to FFM, it was shown that women have a significantly higher VO
conclusionThis study identified that ratio-standard scaling is sufficient in removing residual effects of body size from VO
