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

(1) Background: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is associated with substantial cardiovascular morbidity and functional impairment. This study evaluated the feasibility and adherence of a 6-month home-based telerehabilitation (TR) program and longitudinal changes in functional capacity, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and selected cardiometabolic parameters. (2) Methods: This prospective, single-arm study enrolled 42 patients with PAD. Daily ambulation was monitored using a Xiaomi Smart Band 8, and participants received weekly telephone counseling. Assessments were performed at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. (3) Results: Median daily step count increased from 5868 to 6905 steps/day (
