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

introductionCardiovascular conditions significantly impact individuals' functional abilities. Existing evidence is limited on levels of occupational performance in individuals with cardiovascular conditions and what daily life activities are impacted. This study aimed to investigate occupational performance and quality of life in this population.

methodsThis current study utilized a cross-sectional design and convenient sampling. The sample consisted of 52 individuals with cardiovascular conditions. Instruments included Demographic and Health Condition Questionnaire, The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM), and The World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF). Data analyses included descriptive statistics, analysis of frequencies, Spearman rank-order correlations, and exploratory multivariable linear regression analyses.

findingsIndividuals with cardiovascular conditions perceived their occupational performance and satisfaction in the lower moderate range (COPM Performance: mean = 4.74, SD±1.75, range 1-8; COPM Satisfaction: mean = 4.5, SD±2.04, range 1-10). Self-care was the most common domain with occupational performance challenges (66.2% of all reported problems). Functional mobility was the most frequently reported self-care problem. In the WHOQOL-BREF, the physical domain was the lowest (M = 50.17, SD ±18.4, Range = 0-88). Significant predictor of better occupational performance included having higher physical health-related QoL (R

conclusionOccupational performance in daily life activities in individuals with cardiovascular conditions, and their quality of life are negatively impacted. Individualized interventions for this population should target daily life activities, especially self-care.
