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: Maintaining regular physical activity (PA) is a critical challenge for patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation (CR), as inadequate adherence can lead to adverse outcomes, including disease recurrence. Enhancing motivation is key to improving PA adherence. Motivational interviewing (MI) has been shown to overcome psychological barriers by building intrinsic motivation. However, there is a need to explore how to integrate MI techniques with digital technology to enhance intervention accessibility and leverage the strengths of both approaches. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a hybrid intervention model integrating phone-based motivational interviewing with mobile phone-based management on motivation and physical activity in patients undergoing CR. Methods: This pilot randomized controlled trial was conducted in China between January and June 2024, involving 52 patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation. The intervention group ( Results: Compared with the control group, the intervention group showed a significant interaction effect of Group*Time on both steps/day ( Conclusion: This study indicates that a phone-based motivational interviewing intervention delivered by trained researchers can effectively increase physical activity levels and enhance autonomous motivation for PA in CR patients. This approach provides a scalable model for the routine care of cardiac rehabilitation patients, especially in resource-limited settings. For nursing practice, the findings highlight the importance of incorporating MI as a core skill and utilizing a hybrid, technology-supported care model to extend continuous professional support into patients' homes.
