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

Background: Patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) admitted to community rehabilitation wards after acute care for cardiac rehabilitation (CR) continuation show improvements in activities of daily living (ADL). However, because the determinants of ADL improvement remain unclear, we aimed to identify the factors related to ADL recovery during post-acute CR. Methods and Results: This interim analysis of the multicenter J-CREW CR registry included 198 patients with CVD (mean age: 78.1±8.8 years; 49.5% female). Data on demographics, ADL and frailty status before hospitalization, primary and comorbid conditions, nutritional risk, admission ADL, physical and cognitive function, length of stay (LOS), and rehabilitation dose were collected. The primary outcome was factors associated with Functional Independence Measure (FIM) gain, and the secondary outcome was FIM effectiveness. In the regression model (R Conclusions: Better physical and cognitive function at admission, together with sufficient LOS, contributed to greater ADL recovery. These indices may serve as practical indicators of effective post-acute CR strategies.
