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

purposeUnderstanding seasonal variation of daily physical activity (PA) in patients with heart failure (HF) has important implications for planning and interpretation of clinical trials, but the presence and magnitude of this seasonal variation in daily PA have yet to be established. The purpose of the present study was to determine the presence and magnitude of seasonal variation in daily PA in community-dwelling individuals with HF using several analytic approaches.

methodsRetrospective chart review of patients with HF and Medtronic implantable cardioverter defibrillator/cardiac resynchronisation therapy (ICD/CRT) devices. Data included in analyses (autocorrelation, analysis of covariance, one-way analysis of variance) were clinical characteristics, the patient activity measure of daily PA from the ICD/CRT devices, temperature and hours of daylight over the 1-year period of 1 November 2017-31 October 2018.

resultsOne hundred and sixty-eight patients were included. Visual analysis and autocorrelation demonstrated seasonal variation in daily PA. Daily PA seasonal difference between winter and summer months was 0.4 hours per day/24 minutes per day/2.8 hours per week/14.9%. This seasonal effect on daily PA is significantly greater in those with ≤8 comorbid conditions and an overall activity level of >2.2 hours per day compared to those with multiple comorbidities and low overall activity (0.7 versus 0.1 hours per day, respectively).

conclusionsThe present study affirms the seasonality of daily PA in a cohort of patients with HF and ICD/CRT devices and reveals a disproportionate seasonal effect on those with fewer comorbidities and higher overall activity levels. Seasonal variation should be accounted for when interpreting change in daily PA in clinical practice and when designing and interpreting results of clinical trials investigating interventions to improve daily PA.
