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

backgroundGuideline adherence with respect to exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is hampered by a large variety of complex guidelines and position statements, and the fact that these documents are not specifically designed for healthcare professionals prescribing exercise-based CR programs. This study aimed to develop clinical algorithms that can be used in clinical practice for prescription and evaluation of exercise-based CR in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and chronic heart failure (CHF).

methodsThe clinical algorithms were developed using a systematic approach containing four steps. First, all recent Dutch and European cardiac rehabilitation guidelines and position statements were reviewed and prioritised. Second, training goals requiring a differentiated training approach were selected. Third, documents were reviewed on variables to set training intensity, modalities, volume and intensity and evaluation instruments. Finally, the algorithms were constructed.

resultsThree Dutch guidelines and three European position statements were reviewed. Based on these documents, five training goals were selected and subsequently five algorithms for CAD patients and five for CHF patients were developed.

conclusionsThis study presents evidence-based clinical algorithms for exercise-based CR in patients with CAD and CHF according to their training goals. These algorithms may serve to improve guideline adherence and the effectiveness of exercise-based CR.
