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

Exercise is recommended in patients with cardiac failure. In the perioperative patient, exercise is also gaining popularity as a form of prehabilitation. In this meta-analysis, we examine if exercise is able to reduce natriuretic peptide levels. Natriuretic peptide (NP) has strong prognostic ability in identifying patients who will develop adverse postoperative cardiovascular outcomes. The protocol was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42017051468). The database search included MEDLINE (PubMed), CINAHL (EBSCO host), EMBASE (EBSCO host), ProQuest, Web of Science, and Cochrane database. The primary outcomes were to determine whether exercise therapy was effective in reducing NP levels as compared to control group, the shortest time period required to reduce NP levels after exercise therapy, and whether reducing NP levels decreased morbidity and mortality. Full texts of 16 trials were retrieved for this review. Exercise therapy showed a significant reduction in natriuretic peptide levels between the intervention and control groups (SMD - 0.45, 95% CI - 0.88 to - 0.03) with significant heterogeneity between the included trials. This was also shown in the within a 12-week period.
