Home-Based Exercise Cardiac Telerehabilitation on Adherence and Functional Capacity for Patients After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Indonesia: Protocol for a Quasi-Experimental Study.
Article in JMIR research protocols, 2026. 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: Home-based cardiac rehabilitation is a promising approach to improve access and adherence to cardiac rehabilitation (CR), which remains underutilized. However, monitoring patient adherence and safety during home-based exercise is challenging. Therefore, we develop and implement a home-based exercise cardiac telerehabilitation (HBECTR) program, integrating structured exercise guidance with remote monitoring. Objective: This trial is designed as a pilot feasibility study to evaluate the practicality, safety, and preliminary effects of HBECTR in patients who have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The primary objective is to analyze the effect of HBECTR on patients' adherence to CR, while the secondary objective is to measure the effect of HBECTR on the functional capacity of patients after PCI. Methods: This study is a quasi-experimental nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest. The eligible participants are adults (≥18 y), patients with coronary artery disease after successful PCI, and patients having active health insurance. Patients will be consecutively recruited from Dr. Sardjito General Hospital, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, with a minimum of 60 patients after PCI as samples, divided into 2 groups: an intervention group and a comparison or control group. The intervention group will receive hybrid cardiac rehabilitation. Patients will be scheduled to do exercise twice a week at the hospital and 3 times a week at their home. When patients exercise at home, they will have to wear the smartwatch "CovWatch," which will be connected to the web-based app (App Rehab Cardio) to monitor their vital signs and the distance of walking. The control group will get usual care (center-based cardiac rehabilitation). The data will be analyzed using the Student t test to see if the data comply with the normality assumption. This protocol received approval from the institutional review board of the Faculty of Medicine, Public Health, and Nursing UGM (approval number: KE/FK/0850/EC/2024). Results: The recruitment of the patients started in August 2024. This study is being funded since February 2025. During the submission, we have recruited 63 patients in both intervention and control groups. The intervention for both groups was finished in June 2025, and the data are being analyzed. Conclusions: It is expected that the HBECTR program will be feasible and safely implemented in low- and middle-income countries, particularly in Indonesia. By integrating a telerehabilitation model, it is expected that HBECTR will improve patients' adherence to CR and also increase the functional capacity of patients after PCI.
