Remote Cardiac Rehabilitation in Older Cardiac Disease: A Randomized Case Series Feasibility Study.
Article in Cardiology research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
backgroundCardiac rehabilitation (CR) in the long term is fundamental to achieve better outcomes. However, most patients may find it difficult to maintain healthy lifestyle behavior after ambulatory CR program. We aimed to investigate the feasibility on remote CR support program (Remote-CR) in older patients with cardiac disease.
methodsBetween October 2020 and February 2021, we enrolled older patients with cardiac disease after at least over 5 months of ambulatory CR program. The study was conducted as a randomized controlled case series to compare Remote-CR vs. center-based CR (CB-CR) after ambulatory CR in older patients with cardiac disease. The core component of Remote-CR is a web application, which evaluates vital sign and receives feedback through real-time video consultation once a week. We evaluated the satisfaction of Remote-CR, and impact of Remote-CR on adherence to exercise and physical activity management. Moreover, we assessed the change in functional status using handgrip strength, usual gait speed, short physical performance battery (SPPB), and Kihon checklist (KCL) before the intervention, at the end of the 4-week intervention, and cardiovascular-related hospital discharge within 6 months after completion of ambulatory CR.
resultsEleven patients were enrolled (six for Remote-CR and five for CB-CR). All participants completed the intervention without serious adverse event in each group. After the on-site initial remote system set up, all the patients completed the Remote-CR session without on-site assistance. Patients' satisfaction with Remote-CR was generally high. Remote-CR helps to maintain healthy lifestyle behavior. In addition, Remote-CR and CB-CR seem to be equally successful in maintaining functional status and preventing cardiovascular-related hospital readmission.
conclusionsThis trial suggested the Remote-CR comprising a hybrid of information and communication technology and strategy for health behavior change may be a feasible and safe intervention option in selected older patients with cardiac disease after completion of ambulatory CR.
