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

Adherence to medical advice, driven by high patient motivation, could lead to a significant reduction in risk factors during cardiac rehabilitation.During a 1-year period, 9082 patients were admitted to six cardiac rehabilitation centres. A total of 1195 highly motivated subjects were selected based on their reliable completion of a survey regarding cardiac risk factors.Study subjects had lower risk factors at baseline compared with a contemporary Austrian database. At discharge from the rehabilitation programme subjects showed further reductions in median weight, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, blood pressure and resting pulse rate (due to increased levels of daily exercise). Smoking also decreased. Most of these changes were still significant after 1 year.The risk factors in these highly motivated patients were low to begin with and were further reduced by an inpatient rehabilitation programme. The content and method of delivery of this programme seem to be effective. Efforts should focus on increasing motivation.
