Referral to outpatient cardiac rehabilitation: intervention research at the patient, provider, and health system levels.
Article in Nature clinical practice. Cardiovascular medicine, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
This article sets out the clinical context of the research presented by Grace et al. in an accompanying article in this journal. Secondary preventive measures against cardiovascular disease, such as outpatient cardiac rehabilitation (OCR), can greatly reduce associated burden on health systems. Here, I discuss the study carried out by Grace and colleagues--a multilevel study of the contribution of patient and physician factors to cardiac rehabilitation referral. Grace et al. demonstrate that both physician and patient factors have key roles in OCR referral. In this commentary I explore the limitations of studying the factors that contribute to referral alone as a final end point given the lower-than-desired rates of enrollment among referred patients.
