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
introductionFunctional assessment of children and adolescents is essential for monitoring motor development and for the prevention of deficits that may impact health and quality of life. In primary care contexts, the implementation of simple and cost-effective tests has been a pragmatic strategy, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. The sitting-rising test is noteworthy for its clinical and community relevance, although normative values for paediatric populations remain unavailable.
objectiveTo establish reference values for the Sitting-rising Test in children and adolescents aged 5-14 years, to investigate the influence of body mass index on functional performance, and to compare results between sexes.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted with 596 schoolchildren (aged 5-14 years) assessed using the Sitting-rising Test and anthropometric measures. Reference values were defined by age-specific percentiles. The association between body mass index and performance was analysed using linear regression, and sex differences were tested with the chi-square test.
resultsSitting-rising Test performance was classified into three categories: below expected (≤ P10), adequate (> P10 and ≤ P90) and above expected (> P90). Body mass index accounted for 17.4% of the performance variation, indicating that greater body composition was associated with poorer test results. No significant sex differences were observed.
conclusionThis study provides, for the first time, normative Sitting-rising Test values for children and adolescents aged 5-14 years. The findings highlight the SRT as a simple, low-cost and effective tool for early detection of functional deficits, especially in resource-limited settings.
