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

backgroundCoronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of death in women. Many of the risk factors for CAD relate to lifestyle and thus may be influenced by lifestyle modification. However, middle-aged women often find it difficult to adjust their lifestyle behaviors. Thus, providing individualized treatment is crucial to reducing the risk and incidence of CAD in this population. PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to explore the effectiveness of a tailored lifestyle management program (TLMP) for middle-aged women with CAD.

methodsAn experimental design was employed. Thirty-five middle-aged women with CAD (with stenosis [> 50%] of at least one main artery as determined by cardiac catheterization examination results) were recruited. The 35 women were randomlyassigned to the experimental group (n = 17) or the control group (n = 18). Both groups received regular health education during their hospitalization. After discharge, the experimental group received the 12-week, home-based TLMP. A generalized estimating equation was used to examine the effects of the TLMP on metabolic and biomarker indicators for CAD.

resultsThe average age of participants was 56.1 ± 5.6 years. No significant demographic differences were identified between the two groups. Compared with the control group, the experimental group had a significantly higher high-density lipoprotein level (B = 7.83, p < .001), a lower level of total cholesterol (B = -49.21, p = .04), and a lower waist circumference (B = -6.42, p < .001). CONCLUSIONS/IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: This study suggests that using tailored interventions is an effective approach to improving high-density lipoprotein, total cholesterol, and waist circumference in middle-aged women with CAD. This result is expected to have important implications for women's healthcare, particularly in terms of preventing the incidence of CAD.
