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

objectiveTo evaluate post-transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) physical activity and explore the factors influencing participation.

designA quantitatively driven sequential explanatory mixed-methods study was performed from October 2021 to February 2022 in Shanghai, China. PATIENTS: The study sample comprised 195 patients who underwent TAVR (58.46% men, mean age = 74.38 years.

methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted to assess the extent of physical activity maintenance after TAVR via the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF). Preliminary factors were identified via Poisson regression. Subsequently, Fogg's behaviour model-guided targeted qualitative interviews were conducted to confirm and expand on barriers and facilitators to physical activity engagement.

results93.33% of post-TAVR patients lacked regular physical activity. Fourteen barriers and facilitators were identified and grouped into motivation (health expectation, social belonging, feeling after physical activity, kinesiophobia), ability (complex forms of physical activity, misperceptions, scheduling conflicts, traffic and distance, self-regulation), and triggers (surroundings and environment, peer and family support, professional support, mobile health, internalization of exercise habits).

conclusionThe study findings indicate low adherence to regular physical activity among patients post-TAVR. Intervention strategies that increase patients' motivation and ability to perform physical activity and provide appropriate triggers should be further developed.
