Effects of the HEART Camp Trial on Adherence to Exercise in Patients With Heart Failure.
Trial report in Journal of cardiac failure, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 25 papers, 5 of them syntheses 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

Abstract
backgroundFew exercise training studies in patients with heart failure (HF) report adherence to guideline-recommended 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week, and no studies have focused on a primary outcome of adherence. METHODS AND
resultsThis randomized controlled trial evaluated the effect of a multicomponent intervention, Heart Failure Exercise and Resistance Training (HEART) Camp, on adherence to exercise (after 6, 12, and 18 months) compared with an enhanced usual care (EUC) group. Patients (n = 204) were 55.4% male, overall average age was 60.4 years, and 47.5% were nonwhite. The HEART Camp group had significantly greater adherence at 12 (42%) and 18 (35%) months compared with the EUC group (28% and 19%, respectively). No significant difference (P > .05) was found at 6 months. The treatment effect did not differ based on patient's age, race, gender, marital status, type of HF (preserved or reduced ejection fraction) or New York Heart Association functional class. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) significantly moderated the treatment effect, with greater adherence at higher LVEF.
conclusionsThe multicomponent HEART Camp intervention showed efficacy with significant effects at 12 months and 18 months. Adherence levels remained modest, indicating a need for additional research to address methods and strategies to promote adherence to exercise in patients with HF.
