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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundPhysical activity (PA) is important for disease management and overall health in adolescents with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). In clinical practice, identifying low cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and encouraging higher-intensity PA are priorities. We investigated whether introducing submaximal treadmill fitness testing could increase PA, estimated peak oxygen uptake (VO

methodsIn this exploratory pre-post study, adolescents aged 10-18 years with non-systemic JIA were consecutively recruited during routine physiotherapy visits at a rheumatology clinic. A submaximal treadmill test was used to estimate VO

resultsThirty-four participants were included; 24 completed follow-up. IPAQ-derived PA did not change significantly between assessments. Estimated VO

conclusionsIntroducing submaximal treadmill fitness testing in routine care did not change self-reported PA, but estimated VO
