The Benefits of a Comprehensive Cardiac Rehabilitation Program for Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Follow-Up Study.
Article in Journal of personalized medicine, 2023. 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesSecondary prevention after acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is essential to reduce cardiovascular mortality and hospital readmission, ensuring patients return to normal with an improved quality of life. Thus, we investigate the benefits of a comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program on lifestyle, risk factors and adherence to guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) in patients after ACS and myocardial revascularization through coronary artery by-pass grafting (CABG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
methodsThis is a prospective, longitudinal study in consecutive post-CABG or PCI patients after ACS that participated or not in a comprehensive CR. Cardiovascular risk factors, quality of life and adherence to GDMT were analyzed in terms of assessing the benefit of 12 months of comprehensive CR on reaching guidelines secondary prevention targets.
resultsAt the inclusion in comprehensive CR of all patients (
conclusionThe twelve-month participation of post-ACS patients in comprehensive CR resulted in excellent post-revascularization management, as well as good adherence to guideline-directed medical therapy, provided further confirmation of the benefit of secondary prevention. Despite high adherence to drug treatments, targets for blood pressure, total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol are inadequately achieved. Therefore, in the era of personalized medicine, patients with ACS should benefit from specific, comprehensive cardiovascular recovery programs that contain physiotherapists, psychologists, nutritionists and an experienced cardiologist in cardiovascular rehabilitation.
