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

purposeBeyond its clinical relevance, the 1-min sit-to-stand test (1STS) has gained attention in the general population as a measure of physical fitness. Relying solely on repetition counts may limit the interpretability of the 1STS following a training program aimed at improving muscle condition. We aimed to assess 1STS changes after a resistance program, incorporating strength and fatigability performance metrics for a more comprehensive evaluation.

methods23 healthy, active participants were randomly assigned to a training or control group. The training group followed a 4-week resistance program with short rest intervals (the 3/7 method) to improve muscle strength and local muscle endurance. Performance fatigability, sit-to-stand time, velocity, and power were assessed using a mobile app from a single sit-to-stand maneuver together with the number of repetitions performed (1STS

resultsThe training group improved 1STS

conclusionThese findings suggest that 1STS performance improvements result from strength-related gains rather than muscle endurance, informing better training strategies for lower-body functional capacity.
