Transcatheter Heart Valve Postprocedural Care: Improving the Cardiac Rehabilitation Referral Process Before Discharge.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundCardiac rehabilitation (CR) referral following transcatheter heart valve procedures was suboptimal at a tertiary hospital in Northern California due to the absence of standardized internal processes. PROJECT RATIONALE: The Society of Thoracic Surgeons and American College of Cardiology Transcatheter Valve Therapy Registry identify documentation of CR referral as a key quality metric. In Q4 2022, a quality-improvement initiative was launched to standardize referrals before discharge for patients undergoing transcatheter heart valve procedures. PROJECT SUMMARY: A multidisciplinary team implemented a Plan-Do-Study-Act framework to modify workflow changes, including electronic health record optimization and bedside consult protocols. Over 7 quarters, documentation for CR referrals reached and sustained 100% across 530 patients. This initiative aligned institutional practices with evidence-based recommendations and American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation certification standards. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Key barriers included staffing limitations and documentation inconsistencies, while facilitators included electronic health record optimization, multidisciplinary collaboration, and alignment with certification goals.
