Differences in Clinical Measures and Outcomes in South Asians vs Caucasians Attending Cardiac Rehabilitation.
Article in CJC open, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundSouth Asians have a greater predisposition to cardiac events, compared to Caucasians. Although cardiac rehabilitation programs (CRPs) are known to improve outcomes, data are sparse regarding benefits acquired by South Asians vs Caucasians. The objective of the current study was to determine the outcomes of South Asian patients undergoing CRPs, compared to Caucasian patients.
methodsThis study compared baseline characteristics and outcomes in all patients attending a CRP in Edmonton, Canada with a proportionately large South Asian population.
resultsFrom 1998 to 2016, a total of 811 South Asians and 5406 Caucasians attended CRPs. Baseline characteristics revealed that there were more nonsmokers (73.4% vs 29.4%,
conclusionsAlthough South Asians seem to be prescribed and use proven pharmacologic treatments to the same extent as Caucasians, they appeared to benefit less from CRPs. Given higher event rates in South Asians, consideration should be given to altering the delivery of CRPs to South Asians to improve their efficacy.
