Physical Activity and Mortality among Male Survivors of Myocardial Infarction.
Article in Medicine and science in sports and exercise, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
purposeAn inverse association between physical activity (PA) and risk of CHD has been seen in many studies, but evidence for benefits of PA after myocardial infarction (MI) in reducing mortality is limited.
methodsUsing data from the Health Professionals Follow-up Study cohort, we followed male survivors of MI. Short- and long-term changes in PA from before to after MI were calculated, and participants without ambulation impairment were classified into maintained low, decreased, increased, or maintained high PA categories. Cox models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for mortality across PA and PA change categories.
resultsDuring a mean of 14 yr of follow-up of 1651 incident nonfatal MI cases, we documented 678 deaths, 307 were due to cardiovascular disease. The adjusted HR for all-cause mortality comparing ≥21 with ≤1.5 MET·wk of PA before MI was 0.73 (95% CI = 0.59-0.89, Ptrend = 0.03). Compared with men who maintained low PA before and after MI, men who maintained high PA had a 39% (95% CI = 25-50) lower risk of all-cause mortality, and those who had a long-term increase in PA from before to after MI had a 27% (95% CI = 6-43) lower risk. Walking for ≥30 min·d after MI was associated with a 29% lower mortality (HR = 0.71, 95% CI = 0.58-0.84), independent of walking pace, and walking pace after MI was inversely associated with mortality (HR = 0.67, 95% CI = 0.49-0.92).
conclusionsMaintaining a high PA or having a long-term increase in PA from before to after MI was associated with lower mortality among male MI survivors. Walking time and walking pace after MI were each inversely associated with mortality.
