Effectiveness of an Education Intervention Among Cardiac Rehabilitation Patients in Canada: A Multi-Site Study.
Article in CJC open, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 2 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
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
backgroundAlthough patient education is considered a core component of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs, to our knowledge, no educational program designed for CR has been standardized in Canada. This absence of standardization may be due to a lack of reliable resources to educate these patients. The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of an education intervention in improving knowledge and health behaviours among CR patients in 3 sites in Canada.
methodsCR patients were exposed to an evidence- and theoretically based comprehensive education intervention. Patients completed surveys assessing knowledge, physical activity, food intake, self-efficacy, and health literacy. All outcomes were assessed pre- and post-CR. Paired
resultsA total of 252 patients consented to participate, of whom 158 (63.0%) completed post-CR assessments. There was a significant improvement in patients' overall knowledge pre- to post-CR, as well as in exercise, food intake, and self-efficacy (
conclusionIn this first-ever multi-site study focusing on patient education for CR patients in Canada, the benefits of an education intervention have been supported.
