Strategies to improve adherence to exercise-based phase II cardiac rehabilitation after percutaneous coronary intervention: a best evidence summary.
Synthesis in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 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
Objective: To identify, appraise, and synthesize the best available evidence on strategies to improve adherence to exercise-based phase II cardiac rehabilitation in patients after percutaneous coronary intervention, and to provide evidence-informed guidance for clinical practice. Methods: Guided by the 6S evidence pyramid, a systematic search was conducted across evidence-based resources, guideline repositories, professional association websites, and primary literature databases for studies addressing strategies to improve adherence to exercise-based phase II cardiac rehabilitation after percutaneous coronary intervention. The search covered the period from database inception to November 30, 2025. Two reviewers independently screened the literature, appraised methodological quality using design-specific tools, and synthesized the evidence according to the Joanna Briggs Institute evidence grading and recommendation system. Results: A total of 24 studies were included, comprising 1 clinical decision support resource, 6 guidelines, 6 systematic reviews and meta-analyses, 6 expert consensus statements, 4 randomized controlled trials, and 1 quasi-experimental study. Thirty-two evidence statements were synthesized across seven dimensions: program referral and initiation, multidisciplinary cardiac rehabilitation team, individualized exercise prescription, adherence-enhancing interventions, population-specific strategies, social support, and quality management and outcome evaluation. Conclusion: This study synthesized the best available evidence on strategies to improve adherence to exercise-based phase II cardiac rehabilitation in patients after percutaneous coronary intervention. The findings provide an evidence-informed basis for clinical practice and may support healthcare professionals in developing context-sensitive rehabilitation strategies to enhance patient participation and sustained engagement in phase II cardiac rehabilitation.
