The effect of WeChat-based brisk walking on kinesiophobia in patients after percutaneous coronary intervention: a randomised controlled trial.

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
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the benefit of a home-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programme with telemonitoring guidance on kinesiophobia in patients with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) discharged from hospital. It also aimed to explore the effectiveness of this programme on self-efficacy and cardiorespiratory endurance using a randomised controlled trial. Design: This study was a single-blind, prospective randomised controlled trial. Methods: Patients who underwent PCI at our hospital were enrolled. The intervention group (IG) performed WeChat-based brisk walking and the control group (CG) received the usual care, including advice to remain physically active. All patients underwent cardiopulmonary exercise testing to assess their peak oxygen uptake (peak VO Results: A total of 137 patients were enrolled in this study between 1 February 2023 and 31 October 2023. Of them, 130 patients successfully completed a 12-week WeChat-based brisk walking CR programme. After 12 weeks of intervention, the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia Heart scores in the IG decreased significantly more than in the CG and pre-IG. The IG's Self-Efficacy for Exercise scores were higher than those of the CG and pre-IG. In addition, the increase in peak VO Conclusion: The WeChat-based brisk walking programme is beneficial for reducing kinesiophobia by increasing exercise self-efficacy in patients after PCI; it also helps to improve cardiopulmonary endurance. WeChat-based brisk walking is feasible and acceptable.
