Physical activity and relationship to physical function, quality of life, and cognitive function in older patients with acute decompensated heart failure.
Trial report in American heart journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02196038 (REHAB-HF), which is not on this map. Cited by 6 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.

Abstract
backgroundVolitional physical activity level is predictive of a variety of health outcomes, but has not been examined in patients recently hospitalized for acute decompensated HF (ADHF).
methodsTen to 14 days after index hospitalization for ADHF, 93 participants wore a wrist-mounted triaxial accelerometer (ActiGraph GT3X+) to objectively quantify sedentary behavior, light physical activity, and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. Levels were compared to 2 groups of age-matched NHANES participants: healthy and chronic, stable HF. The relationship between physical activity levels and physical function [Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB)], HF-specific quality-of-life (QOL) [Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ)], and cognition [Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA)] were examined.
resultsADHF participants accumulated a median 1,008 (IQR 896, 1,109) minutes of sedentary time, 88 (57, 139) minutes of light physical activity, and 10 (6, 25) minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per day. Sedentary time, light physical activity, or moderate-to-vigorous activity did not differ by sex or EF subtype. ADHF participants spent only 9% of awake time nonsedentary, compared to 34% and 27% for healthy adults and adults with chronic, stable HF, respectively. Among ADHF participants, SPPB, KCCQ, and MOCA scores did not differ among quartiles of total physical activity.
conclusionsOlder patients recently hospitalized for ADHF have very low levels of physical activity and high levels of sedentary time, both of which may be potential targets for interventions in this high-risk population. Physical activity level was not significantly associated with objectively measured physical function, QOL, or cognition, suggesting that this measure provides independent information regarding the patient experience of living with HF.
