1 · What the graph read from it

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.

Abstract

Background: Early postoperative complication risk prediction would enhance perioperative surveillance and resource allocation. Reports have described brief submaximal cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) for the routine assessment of cardiopulmonary disease. Compared with conventional CPET, it can be performed in 6 min and is used to predict peak CPET measurements. We aimed to determine whether submaximal CPET-derived measures outperform structured surveys in early postoperative complication detection. Methods: An institutional review board-approved, single-centre, open-label, clinical device trial was conducted. A total of 101 participants undergoing noncardiac surgery, aged >60 yr, with revised cardiac risk index ≤2, self-reported metabolic equivalents >4 (METs in ml O Results: Of 101 participants, 53 (52.4%) had POMS ≥1. GXCAP to peak VO Conclusions: Compared with structured surveys (subjective METs or Duke Activity Status Index) or conventional peak CPET values (VO Clinical trial registration: NCT05743673.
