Initial efficacy of a cardiac rehabilitation transition program: Cardiac TRUST.
Trial report in Journal of gerontological nursing, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
The purpose of this pilot study was to test the initial efficacy, feasibility, and safety of a specially designed postacute care transitional rehabilitation intervention for cardiac patients. Cardiac Transitional Rehabilitation Using Self-Management Techniques (Cardiac TRUST) is a family-focused intervention that includes progressive low-intensity walking and education in self-management skills to facilitate recovery following a cardiac event. Using a randomized two-group design, exercise self-efficacy, steps walked, and participation in an outpatient cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program were compared in a sample of 38 older adults (17 Cardiac TRUST, 21 usual care). At discharge from postacute care, the intervention group trended toward higher levels of self-efficacy for exercise outcomes than the usual care group. During the 6 weeks following discharge, the intervention group had greater attendance in outpatient CR and a trend toward more steps walked during the first week. The feasibility of the intervention was better for the home health care participants than for those in the skilled nursing facility. The provision of CR during postacute care has the potential to bridge the gap in transitional services from hospitalization to outpatient CR for these patients at high risk for future cardiac events. Further evidence of the efficacy of Cardiac TRUST is warranted.
