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
objectiveThe study assesses how well patients follow secondary prevention measures after completing an outpatient cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis research involves 63 patients who completed an outpatient CR program between 2018 and 2020 at the Istrian Health Center in Pula, Croatia. Socio-demographic characteristics, levels of physical activity, adherence to a Mediterranean diet, and compliance with medical recommendations were assessed in a survey to gather data.
resultsOut of the 63 patients surveyed, 51 responded (34 males, 17 females, average age 68.25 years). After completing a cardiac rehabilitation program, 78.4% maintained appropriate levels of physical activity but showed low adherence to a Mediterranean diet, with an average score of only 3.94 out of 9. Only a small percentage (2%) effectively followed medical recommendations.
conclusionDespite the fact that patients maintain physical activity, there are still challenges regarding adherence to nutritional recommendations and medical advice. Long-term adherence can be improved by utilizing technology, involving family members, and offering education. Future research should focus on identifying obstacles to adherence and developing approaches to achieve lasting behavioral change.
