CR in HF: impact of frailty and mobility on proportion of inpatients eligible for CR referral at the point of discharge.
Article in The British journal of cardiology, 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
Cardiac rehabilitation (ExCR) is an essential, evidence-based part of the management of people with chronic heart failure (CHF), but research indicates it is underused. This retrospective audit explores the eligibility of heart failure inpatients for ExCR, according to the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) consensus statement, and the impact of frailty on referral rates. The first 100 patients admitted with a diagnosis of CHF from 1 February 2020 within one hospital trust were included in the audit. Only 54% of patients were eligible for ExCR at discharge and, of them, 43% were referred. Most patients (69%) admitted to cardiology wards were eligible for ExCR compared with 14% of those admitted to non-specialist care. Frail patients were less likely to be admitted to cardiology wards (43%) than their non-frail counterparts (93%). Not all patients admitted to hospital with heart failure are eligible for ExCR, and assessing eligibility is important in identifying the true referral rate to allow national benchmarking. Interventions to improve referral are still important, but focus also needs to be directed to developing interventions for those individuals currently not eligible for standard ExCR programmes.
