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.

Abstract

backgroundCardiac rehabilitation (CR) constitutes the recommended nonpharmacological approach for cardiac patients with cardiovascular disease such as people following a recent (i.e., < 4 week) myocardial infarction (MI). Recent evidence suggests that cardiac telerehabilitation may be as effective as traditional (i.e., in person) CR in people following a recent MI. Nevertheless, the feasibility, acceptability, and safety of such an exercise programme has yet to be examined.

methodsForty-four (11 women, 33 men) people following a recent MI were randomly allocated into two groups (online home-based and gym-based groups). The groups underwent a 24-week CR programme thrice per week. All patients performed the baseline, and 24 weeks follow up measurements where feasibility, acceptability, and safety were assessed.

resultsEligibility and recruitment rates were found to be 61.5% and 42%, respectively. Compliance to the thrice weekly, 24-week exercise programme for the online- and gym-based groups were 91.6% and 90.9%, respectively. There were no dropouts during the exercise programmes, however four participants, two from each group, were lost to follow up at 6 months. The average percentage of peak HR (% HR

conclusionOur cardiac telerehabilitation programme seems to be feasible, acceptable, safe, and enjoyable for people with a recent MI. Our participants had an overall positive experience and acceptability of the cardiac telerehabilitation and tele coaching using wearable devices.
