1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundCardiac, pulmonary, and intensive care unit (ICU) rehabilitation/recovery programs are health promotion interventions designed to improve physical recovery, psychological well-being, and quality of life after acute illness while reducing the risk of adverse events.

objectiveIdentify the difference in attendance rates for patients invited to a cardiac rehabilitation, pulmonary rehabilitation, or ICU recovery program and factors influencing attendance.

methodsWe conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis by searching PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, Web of Science, and manual reference lists from inception to June 3, 2024. We included studies reporting patient attendance rates in eligible programs following acute illness hospitalization. Two team members independently screened articles and extracted data, with a third member reviewing and achieving consensus when necessary. Our main outcomes focused on the proportion of attendance in eligible programs among patients referred.

resultsOf 3,446 studies screened, 179 studies (N = 4,779,012 patients) were included across cardiac rehabilitation (n = 153 studies), pulmonary rehabilitation (n = 11 studies), and ICU recovery (n = 15 studies) programs. Pooled attendance rates were 53 % (95 % CI: 48-57 %) for cardiac rehabilitation, 56 % (95 % CI: 42-70 %) for pulmonary rehabilitation, and 61 % (95 % CI: 51-70 %) for ICU recovery programs. Significant attendance heterogeneity was present (cardiac I

conclusionsThe results indicate comparable attendance rates and factors shaping attendance across acute illness rehabilitation/recovery programs, with ICU recovery programs being the most well-attended on average. REGISTRATION: PROSPERO CRD42022357261.
