Analysis of physical fitness tests for police officers in various countries: a scoping review.
Review in Frontiers in physiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Physical fitness tests are an essential part of police selection and retention. The aim of this study was to analyze the physical fitness tests of police officers in various countries. We systematically searched Chinese and English databases, including Web of Science, SPORTDiscus, PubMed, and CNKI, from their establishment dates to 1 December 2024. A total of 16 physical fitness tests for police officers from 7 countries were analyzed. All physical fitness tests were divided into two categories: one focused on basic fitness test items (n = 9), and the other was an obstacle courses, the main content of which simulates specific occupational tasks that police officers may need to perform on duty (n = 7). The most used components were cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength and endurance and agility. This review includes two distinct testing paradigms: 'General Physical Fitness' and 'Job-Specific Competence'. It indicates that there is no universally 'optimal' testing model. The selection or development of police physical fitness tests must be grounded in selection efficiency, ecological validity, and cultural applicability.
