Concordance of self- and program-reported rates of cardiac rehabilitation referral, enrollment and participation.
Article in The Canadian journal of cardiology, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
backgroundDespite potential bias, researchers often rely on patient self-reported data of health care use. However, the validity and accuracy of self-reported data on cardiac rehabilitation (CR) use are unknown.
objectiveTo assess the concordance between patient self-report and site-verified CR referral, enrollment and participation.
methodsA consecutive sample of 661 coronary artery disease inpatients (mean [+/- SD] age 61.27+/-1.31 years; 157 women [23.8%]) treated at three acute care sites was recruited (75% response rate) as part of a larger study comparing automatic with usual referral methods. CR referral, enrollment (attendance at intake assessment) and participation (percentage of program attended) were discerned in a mailed survey nine months following discharge (n=506; 84.3% retention). A total of 24 CR sites were contacted for verification.
resultsA total of 276 participants (54.5%) self-reported CR referral, and CR sites verified receipt of 262 referrals (51.8%) (Cohen's kappa 0.899). A total of 232 participants (45.8%) self-reported CR enrollment, with site-verification for 208 participants (41.1%) (Cohen's kappa 0.846). Self-reported data indicated that participants attended a mean of 81.78+/-25.84% of prescribed CR sessions, with CR sites reporting that participants completed 80.75+/-31.27% of the program (r=0.662; P<0.001). Equivalency testing revealed that the self-reported and site-verified rates of program participation were equivalent (z<1.96).
conclusionsThe almost perfect agreement between the self-reported and site-verified use of CR services suggests that self-administered items are highly valid in this population.
