Exploring Barriers to Physical Activity Among Jordanian Patients Suffering From Coronary Heart Disease: A Qualitative Study.
Article in SAGE open nursing. 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
Introduction: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Regular physical activity (PA) is a vital component of secondary prevention, yet adherence among patients remains low. Objective: The study aimed to gain a deeper understanding of barriers to PA among Jordanian patients with CHD. Methods: A qualitative descriptive design was used. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 22 patients recruited from outpatient medical clinics, and data were analyzed thematically. Results: The main theme of the findings was "Barriers to PA of CHD." Five sub-themes were identified: Psychological and Health-Related Barriers, Motivational Barriers, Lack of knowledge regarding PA, Perceived external obstacles,and Healthcare System-Related Barriers. Conclusion: Patients with CHD encountered psychological, educational, social, and system-level barriers to PA. Addressing these barriers required culturally tailored active and consistent healthcare counseling, appropriate education, and improved rehabilitation accessibility to increase adherence to PA and promote better secondary prevention outcomes.
