Impact of Sedentary Time and Physical Function on Health-Related Quality of Life in Hospitalized Patients with Cardiovascular Disease.
Article in CJC open, 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
Background: This study investigated the association between health-related quality of life (HRQOL), sedentary time, and physical function in hospitalized patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) undergoing phase I cardiac rehabilitation (CR). Methods: This observational study enrolled CVD patients between October 2020 and September 2024. Participants were classified into low-HRQOL ( < 0.83) and high-HRQOL ( ≥ 0.83) groups based on the median EuroQol 5-Dimensions 5-Levels score. Clinical characteristics, physical function measures, and sedentary time were compared between groups. Multiple regression analysis was performed with the score as the dependent variable to identify predictors of HRQOL. Results: The final analysis included 544 patients (mean age: 69.1 years; male: 74.8%), of whom 49.0% were classified into the low-HRQOL group. Patients with low HRQOL showed significantly longer sedentary time and poorer physical function. Multiple regression identified employment status (unstandardized coefficient [B] = 0.068, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.007-0.130, Conclusions: Excessive sedentary time during hospitalization was significantly associated with lower HRQOL in CVD patients undergoing phase I CR. Reducing sedentary time, along with formulating functional and clinical strategies, may be vital for improving HRQOL in inpatient CR programs. These findings highlight the need for future studies to explore personalized CR interventions to improve long-term outcomes.
