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

aimTo explore, including from a gender perspective, how people who have suffered a myocardial infarction describe the changes they need to adopt during the recovery phase following hospital discharge.

designQualitative interpretive phenomenological study.

methodPurposive theoretical sampling strategy with maximum variation. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with subsequent thematic analysis of semantic content, with deductive coding based on relevant aspects identified in the scientific literature and inductive coding on emerging codes in interviewees' discourse. DATA SOURCES: The interviews were conducted between March 2022 and December 2023.

resultsThe participants had an average age of 61 years. A total of nine participants were interviewed. Four of these were women. No one identified as non-binary. Three themes were identified: initiation of one's own resources, engagement with one's own emotions, and follow-up by the health team.

conclusionIn this sample, both men and women initially described motivation to assume responsibility for their self-care and lifestyle changes. Women reported greater difficulties in returning to work and maintaining physical activity, which may contribute to increased vulnerability during recovery. These findings may help inform nurse-led cardiac rehabilitation programmes that respond to patients' real needs.
