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

backgroundHealth-related quality of life (HRQOL) is an increasingly relevant outcome as the population ages and associated morbidities increase. The purpose of this study was to evaluate predictors of HRQOL among ethnically diverse women hospitalized for coronary heart disease (CHD) and determine the impact of a brief, educational intervention on HRQOL 6 months post-hospitalization.

methodsWomen (n = 160; mean age 63 years, 53% minority) admitted for CHD at three academic hospitals who completed a 6 month secondary prevention trial were studied. The SF-36 was administered at admission and 6 months. Multiple linear regressions were used to identify significant independent predictors of 6 month HRQOL.

resultsSignificant improvements in HRQOL were noted from admission to 6 months post-hospitalization. Subjects reporting better HRQOL at 6 months included those who were employed, married, physically active, enrolled in cardiac rehabilitation, and not depressed. Women who received an educational intervention had significantly less bodily pain at 6 months compared with usual care in a model adjusted for baseline HRQOL and physical activity goal adherence (p = 0.04).

conclusionsBaseline HRQOL (8 SF-36 subscales), physical activity (3 SF-36 subscales) and marital status (1 SF-36 subscale) were the major determinants of HRQOL at 6 months post-hospitalization. Future interventions and preventive efforts should be targeted to women with CHD who have impaired HRQOL and may be at increased risk of poor clinical outcomes.
