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

Background: Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a widely underutilized secondary cardiovascular disease prevention strategy, due to a variety of barriers to participation that disproportionately impact women, minoritized racial and ethnic groups, and patients with low socioeconomic status. Methods and results: HEALERS participated in five 90-min virtual focus group sessions to provide feedback on various aspects of the VWCR intervention and the recruitment/retention strategies. Major themes were identified from participant feedback to inform revisions to the trial protocol. Illustrative quotes were selected to represent each theme. Twenty-two members were recruited with diverse sociodemographic and personal/professional backgrounds (mean age 59.3 ± 13 years, 50% female). Regarding trial recruitment, members recommended effective communication strategies, recruitment video suggestions, and expansion of recruitment settings. HEALERS emphasized the importance of feeling safe during exercise and social support in designing an effective VWCR intervention. Lastly, they identified reminder messages, tangible incentives, and fostering positive relationships with the CR staff as important retention tools. Conclusions: A diverse PCS-AB was convened to better understand community needs to improve the patient-centric nature of
