A survey of the implementation rate of cardiac rehabilitation for patients with heart disease undergoing device implantation in Japan.
Article in Journal of arrhythmia, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: The effect of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) on patients undergoing device implantation (DI) for arrhythmias has been reported; however, the implementation status of these patients has not been clarified. This study aimed to verify the implementation status of CR for patients with heart disease who have undergone DI using real-world data. Methods: This was an observational study using a nationwide administrative database associated with the diagnosis procedure combination (DPC) system in Japan (2014-2018). Subjects were patients with heart disease (70 667 cases) who underwent DI during the above scheduled hospitalization period. The overall rate of CR and the background factors of the subjects were verified. Results: The CR rate for patients with heart disease who underwent DI during hospitalization was 23%, and the CR rate for patients with comorbid heart failure who underwent DI was only 32%. It was confirmed that progressing age was associated with a higher CR implementation rate. The lower the Barthel index score at the time of admission, the higher the CR implementation rate. Conclusions: CR was performed for only one-quarter of all the patients during admission for DI and just one-third of the patients for DI with heart failure. Most of these patients were elderly and had a decreased ability to perform activities of daily living. The DPC data are subject to various limitations, and further research is necessary.
