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

objectivesContinuous and interval training have previously been compared in patients with cardiac diseases. However, data comparing the safety and effectiveness of the two exercise methods are lacking in patients early after coronary artery bypass grafting.

methodsIn all, 120 patients were prospectively randomized in a 1:1 fashion approximately 17 days after coronary artery bypass grafting to an interval group or continuous group. All patients participated in bicycle ergometric training six times/week for 20 min each during a 3-week inpatient rehabilitation program. The combined primary endpoint was safety as defined by incidence of scar pain and cardiac events related to the exercise intervention. Secondary outcomes included the effect of the interventions on parameters such as heart rate and peak power output.

resultsFour patients (12.1%) in the interval group reported pain on the saphenectomy scar as a result of the training intervention in comparison to six patients (20.0%) in the continuous group (χ

conclusionErgometry training performed as interval or continuous training was safe and effective regarding increase in physical fitness early after coronary artery bypass grafting in an inpatient rehabilitation setting, with no differences observed between the groups.
