Wearable Device-Measured Physical Activity for Predicting Hospitalization-Associated Disability in Older Patients With Heart Failure.
Article in Circulation reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Hospitalization-associated disability (HAD) is linked to poor post-discharge outcomes in older individuals with heart failure (HF). We investigated whether HAD could be predicted by physical activity measured using a wearable device. Methods and Results: We retrospectively analyzed data from 104 older individuals with HF whose physical activity was recorded for 3 consecutive days after initiating cardiac rehabilitation. Physical activity was categorized as sedentary behavior (≤1.5 metabolic equivalents [METs]), light-intensity physical activity (LPA; 1.6-2.9 METs), and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (≥3.0 METs). HAD was observed in 31 (29.8%) individuals. LPA duration was significantly shorter in the HAD than non-HAD group (mean [±SD] 45.7±24.9 vs. 121.2±67.4 min/day; P<0.0001). In receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, the optimal LPA cut-off was 68 min/day, with 87.1% sensitivity and 80.8% specificity (area under the curve=0.888; P<0.0001). Conclusions: Physical activity measured using a wearable device may be useful in predicting HAD in older individuals with HF.
