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

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with a particular burden in middle-income countries (MICs). Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a secondary prevention model resulting in reduced CV mortality, morbidity, cost-effectively. However, CR is under-utilized globally, especially in MICs due to structural, social, and economic barriers. The International Council of Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation (ICCPR) is a World Heart Federation-affiliated umbrella association founded ~15 years ago, now comprised of 50 Associations and 30 champions in countries without CR societies. ICCPR addresses delivery challenges through: CR guidelines tailored for MICs, the Global CR Audit to support advocacy, the International CR Registry (ICRR), Program Certification to support service quality, multi-disciplinary provider training (CR Foundations Certification; CRFC), women-focused CR initiatives, and partnerships with the World Health Organization. ICCPR continues to foster global CR accessibility through collaboration, communication, as well as research and advocacy with their upcoming Global CR Audit Update.
