Virtual AppLication-supported Environment To INcrease Exercise (VALENTINE) during cardiac rehabilitation study: Rationale and design.
Article in American heart journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04587882 (Virtual AppLication-supported ENvironment To INcrease Exercise During Cardiac Rehabilitation Study), which is not on this map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.

Abstract
backgroundIn-person, exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation improves physical activity and reduces morbidity and mortality for patients with cardiovascular disease. However, activity levels may not be optimized and decline over time after patients graduate from cardiac rehabilitation. Scalable interventions through mobile health (mHealth) technologies have the potential to augment activity levels and extend the benefits of cardiac rehabilitation.
methodsThe VALENTINE Study is a prospective, randomized-controlled, remotely-administered trial designed to evaluate an mHealth intervention to supplement cardiac rehabilitation for low- and moderate-risk patients (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04587882). Participants are randomized to the control or intervention arms of the study. Both groups receive a compatible smartwatch (Fitbit Versa 2 or Apple Watch 4) and usual care. Participants in the intervention arm of the study additionally receive a just-in-time adaptive intervention (JITAI) delivered as contextually tailored notifications promoting low-level physical activity and exercise throughout the day. In addition, they have access to activity tracking and goal setting through the mobile study application and receive weekly activity summaries via email. The primary outcome is change in 6-minute walk distance at 6-months and, secondarily, change in average daily step count. Exploratory analyses will examine the impact of notifications on immediate short-term smartwatch-measured step counts and exercise minutes.
conclusionsThe VALENTINE study leverages innovative techniques in behavioral and cardiovascular disease research and will make a significant contribution to our understanding of how to support patients using mHealth technologies to promote and sustain physical activity.
