Long-term exercise adherence in patients with heart failure: A qualitative study.
Article in Heart & lung : the journal of critical care. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05784753 (HEART), which is not on this map. Cited by 25 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

Abstract
backgroundRegular exercise is associated with numerous benefits; yet up to 91% of patients with heart failure (HF) do not exercise regularly. This study explored factors supporting long-term exercise adherence in patients with HF.
designThis study was a qualitative multiple-case study.
methodsData were collected via semi-structured interviews from patients with HF at completion of an 18-month exercise intervention in a health care exercise facility and analyzed using a directed content analysis approach.
resultsParticipants (n=22) identified perceived health status, scheduling/making exercise part of a routine, social support from coaches and family, knowledge about exercise, and motivation/perseverance as supports for long-term exercise adherence.
conclusionsPerceived health status may be key when promoting exercise adherence in this population. Knowledge, social support from coaches and family members, and motivation should be considered for long-term exercise adherence.
