Reference values for sit-to-stand tests in Colombian adults: a multicenter cross-sectional study.
Article in Colombia medica (Cali, Colombia). 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
Background: Submaximal tests such as the Sit-to-Stand Test (STS) in its three modalities are used to evaluate strength and aerobic capacity in people with respiratory, cardiovascular, and metabolic diseases. However, international reference values do not account for the genetic and environmental particularities of the Colombian population, underscoring the need to establish local references. Aim: To establish sex and age specific reference values for the 5-repetition, 30-second, and 1-minute sit-to-stand tests in community-dwelling Colombian adults. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between 2023 and 2024 in Colombia, with the participation of healthy adults aged 18 to 80 years. Anthropometric characteristics and physical activity were assessed using the IPAQ questionnaire and the Sit-to-Stand Test (STS) at 1 minute, 30 seconds, and 5 repetitions. Normative percentiles were calculated by sex and age with a sample of 393 people. Results: The study included 393 participants (208 women and 185 men), with an average age of 44 years and a BMI of 25.9 ± 4.1. Age was negatively correlated with repetitions (R= 0.493; 60 sec and R= -0.497; 30 sec), height showed a positive correlation (R= 0.262; 60 sec). High BMI was associated with worse performance (R= -0.119; 60 sec, R= -0.153; 30 sec). Conclusions: This study establishes reference values for STS testing in healthy adults in Colombia, accounting for age, sex, BMI, and physical activity.
