The Association of Tobacco Use and Gender to Cardiac Rehabilitation Outcomes: A Preliminary Investigation.
Article in Journal of substance use, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
introductionCardiac rehabilitation (CR) outcomes are measured in terms of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor reductions, and these predict long-term cardiac status. This report examines whether reported tobacco use has differential effects on successful cardiovascular risk factor modification, especially for women who have greater smoking-related CVD consequences than men.
methodsA retrospective cohort analysis was conducted on 1138 adults (74% male) with diagnosed CVD who participated in ≥7 weeks of a comprehensive CR program. Eleven CVD risk factors were assessed at CR entry and completion. Tobacco use was assessed by self-report at CR entry. The primary outcomes were attainment of goal levels for each risk factor.
resultsFewer current and former tobacco users reached the preset goal for Maximal Exercise Capacity. Fewer women than men reached the preset goal for HDL. Women who were current or former tobacco users were less likely to meet the target goals for Triglycerides and more likely to meet target goals for Total Cholesterol and Non-HDL Cholesterol.
conclusionsThis preliminary study suggests the importance of identifying the effect of tobacco use and gender on CR outcomes and the need to evaluate modification of key cardiovascular risk factors for subgroups of cardiac patients.
