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

Background: A significant number of coronary artery disease patients do not attain guideline recommended LDL levels. Participating in a cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program has been shown to improve adherence to medical therapy. Objectives: Evaluate the specific lipid lowering therapy (LLT) prescribed and percent of subjects achieving LDL levels of <70 mg/dL before and after 3 months following CR program initiation. Methods: From May 2017 to April 2019, we prospectively recruited patients referred to our CR program and compared 1015 of them at 4 time points; (P1) just prior to the index hospitalization, (P2) during the index hospitalization, (P3) upon entering the CR program, roughly 3 months after the index hospitalization, and (P4) 3 months into the CR program. Included in the analysis were parameters of lipid levels, the dispensed medication given, as well as patient adherence to treatment. Conclusions: A significant treatment gap is present even in a selected population participating in CR, with the vast majority receiving guideline recommended LLT. In order to improve goals, we need to intensify LLT treatment, and increase patient adherence to therapy.
