Physical Activity Readiness in Patients with Heart Failure.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The aim of this study was to explore the readiness for physical activity (PA) and its related factors in patients with heart failure. This cross-sectional study included 163 patients with heart failure (mean age 66 ± 16, 50% female). The ability to safely engage in PA was assessed with the PA Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q). Psychological readiness was measured using two questionnaires, namely: Exercise Self-efficacy Scale and the Motivation for PA and Exercise/Working Out. A multivariate analysis of covariance was conducted to test the effect of background variables on readiness for PA. 64% (n = 105) of patients reported not being able to safely engage in PA, 80% (n = 129) reported low self-efficacy, and 45% (n = 74) were extrinsically motivated indicating external factors drove their motivation. Factors that positively influenced the PA readiness included lower age (p < 0.01), being male (p < 0.01), being married (p < 0.01), having higher education (p < 0.01), being in NYHA-class I compared with II (p < 0.01), less time since diagnosis (p < 0.01), lower BMI (p = 0.02), and not suffering from COPD (p = 0.02). Prior to recommending exercise, assessment of safety to engage in PA along with self-efficacy and motivation in patients with heart failure is essential.
