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

Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is an evidence-based intervention that uses exercise training, health behaviour modification, medication adherence and psychological counselling to improve secondary prevention outcomes in patients with cardiovascular disease. CR programs reduce morbidity and mortality rates in adults with ischemic heart disease, following coronary intervention, heart failure, or cardiac surgery. These are significantly underused, with only a minority of eligible patients participating in CR in India. Novel delivery strategies and CR endorsement by healthcare organizations are urgently needed to improve participation. One potential strategy is home-based CR (HBCR). Differing from centre-based CR services, which are provided in a medically supervised facility, HBCR relies on remote coaching with indirect exercise supervision. It is provided mostly or entirely outside of the traditional centre-based setting and could be facilitated by the aid of technology and web based applications. The purpose of this appraisal is to identify the core components, efficacy, strengths, limitations, evidence gaps, and research necessary to guide the future delivery of HBCR. This appears to hold promise in expanding the use of CR to eligible patients. Additional research and demonstration projects are needed to clarify, strengthen, and extend the HBCR evidence base for key subgroups, including older adults, women, underrepresented minority groups, and people in remote and rural areas. HBCR may be a reasonable option for a selected group of patients and could be a game changer in low- and middle-income countries who are eligible for CR.
