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

backgroundCardiovascular diseases (CVD), the leading cause of mortality worldwide, require a multidisciplinary approach, with cardiac rehabilitation being a recommended component. The rehabilitation process may be directly influenced by social support, which enhances motivation to cope with the disease and fosters its acceptance.

aimsThis study aims to assess the level of social support among patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation and its impact on disease acceptance.

methodsThe study included a sample of 150 patients currently participating in cardiac rehabilitation. Data were collected through direct contact using the validated, anonymous Acceptance of Illness Scale questionnaire, supplemented with a demographic section addressing social support.

resultsThe majority of respondents reported receiving strong family support (51.3%) and good institutional support (47.3%) during treatment. The mean score for illness acceptance was 29.6 ± 6.9, indicating a high acceptance level observed in most patients (57.3%). The

conclusionsPatients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation generally experience strong family support, good institutional support, and a high level of disease acceptance. No statistically significant relationship was observed between family or institutional support and the level of disease acceptance.
