Effect of Smoking Status on Exercise Perception and Intentions for Cardiac Rehabilitation Enrollment Among Patients Hospitalized With an Acute Cardiac Condition.
Article in Journal of cardiopulmonary rehabilitation and prevention, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
purposeCardiac rehabilitation (CR) attendance has been associated with higher smoking cessation (SC) rates. However, for unclear reasons, smokers are consistently less likely to enroll in CR than nonsmokers, and it is uncertain what might encourage them to attend.
methodsWe surveyed patients eligible for CR who were cigarette smokers at the time of hospital admission. We assessed patient intention to quit smoking, start exercising, and enroll in CR. We also measured anxiety and depression levels.
resultsOf the 105 patients approached, 81 (77%) completed the survey (69% males, aged 57 ± 10 y, 72% white). Most patients reported interest in SC (80%) and attending CR (78%). Many felt that SC medications (41%), stress management programs (35%), and an exercise program with SC counseling (30%) would increase their likelihood to attend CR; however, 30% stated that they would be less likely to enroll in CR if they continued smoking following discharge. Many patients indicated high levels of anxiety (51%) and depression (27%); many desired to reduce stress following discharge (73%), with 35% stating that stress management programs would increase their likelihood to attend CR.
conclusionsHospitalized smokers eligible for CR report significant interest in SC, attending CR, and beginning an exercise program. These patients show high levels of anxiety and depression and indicate a strong interest in stress management programs. These results suggest that messages emphasizing the role of CR in the treatment of depression, anxiety, and stress are likely to resonate with smokers, increase their enrollment in CR, and support long-term SC.
