Physiological and exercise capacity improvements in women completing cardiac rehabilitation.
Trial report in Journal of cardiopulmonary rehabilitation and prevention. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
purposeThe objective of this study was to examine the improvements in physiological outcomes, including exercise capacity, in women completing a 12-week gender-specific (tailored) compared with a traditional cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program.
methodsA 2-group randomized clinical trial compared symptom limited graded exercise test (SL-GXT), lipid, and anthropometric parameters among 99 women completing a traditional 12-week CR program with 137 women completing a tailored CR program.
resultsCompared with baseline, improvement in estimated peak metabolic equivalents (METs) was similar (P = .159) between the tailored (6.0 ± 2.7-7.6 ± 2.8) and the traditional CR programs (5.6 ± 2.3-7.1 ± 2.8). The amount of change in SL-GXT, anthropometric parameters, lipid profiles, and peak treadmill time from baseline to post-CR were also similar between the 2 groups. Given comparable improvements of the 2 CR programs, in the full cohort, factors independently associated with post-CR METs, in rank order, included baseline METs (part correlation = 0.44, P < .001), perceived physical functioning (0.24, P < .001), waist circumference (-0.10, P = .006), and age (-0.11, P = .004). Factors independently associated with post-CR treadmill time included baseline treadmill time (part correlation = 0.42, P < .001), perceived physical functioning (0.30, P < .001), waist circumference (-0.12, P = .002), and age (-0.10, P 5.006).
conclusionsExercise capacity was significantly improved among women completing both CR programs. In the context of CR, modifiable factors positively associated with post-CR exercise capacity included reduced waist circumference and improved physical functioning. Future research on strategies for reducing abdominal obesity and improving perceived physical functioning and exercise capacity among women attending CR is warranted.
