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

Women with heart disease face higher risks of death, cardiac events, depression, and reduced quality of life, compared to men. However, women's participation level in cardiac rehabilitation programs remains low. Peer support programs, such as Women@Heart (W@H), led by women with lived experiences, can enhance program uptake and improve psychosocial well-being. Our pilot evaluation of W@H showed improvements in psychosocial and health behaviour measures, including coping skills and health empowerment. This program evaluation demonstrates the feasibility and effectiveness of W@H in addressing the unique needs of women with heart disease; however, further and large-scale evaluation is needed.
