The Women@Heart NS Pilot Project: Rationale and Design of a Community-Based Peer Support Program for Women Living With Heart Disease in Nova Scotia.
Article in CJC open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Cardiac rehabilitation is associated with lower mortality and improved psychosocial outcomes. However, disparities exist in referral and access to cardiac rehabilitation for Nova Scotian women, a situation exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Women@Heart (W@H) is a 4-month community-based peer support program developed and validated by the University of Ottawa Heart Institute, for women living with heart disease. The program aims to empower women with coping strategies, provide a supportive learning environment, and establish volunteer advocacy groups. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the implementation feasibility of the W@H program for women living in Nova Scotia. The primary outcome is the implementation feasibility of W@H in Nova Scotia, measured through participant attendance and program completion rates. Peer leaders will record participant attendance. The psychosocial impact of W@H will be assessed using psychometric tools that measure the following: social support, adaptive coping, stress, symptoms of anxiety and depression, and health-related and disease-specific quality of life. Data will be collected using a pre- and post-program questionnaire administered to participants. The pilot program is expected to commence in the first quarter of 2024. One peer leader with lived experience of heart disease, who has previously completed the W@H program as a participant, has been trained. Participants have been identified through healthcare provider referral, self-referral, brochures, and peer-networking. Each cohort will consist of 5-10 participants. The W@H pilot project will assess the implementation feasibility and the impact of community-based peer support on the well-being of Nova Scotian women living with heart disease.
