Ambulatory cardiac rehabilitation improves pulsatile arterial hemodynamics: a pilot trial.

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
backgroundIn patients with coronary heart disease, both arterial stiffness and wave reflections are increased and predict unfavorable cardiovascular events. Cardiac rehabilitation has the goal to reduce risk factors and slow the progression of the disease. The aim of this study was to prospectively determine the impact of an ambulatory cardiac rehabilitation program on pulsatile hemodynamics.
methodsMale patients after coronary interventions, bypass surgery, or acute coronary syndromes underwent exercise and resistance training. Before and after the program, pulsatile hemodynamics was measured. Exercise capacity was assessed with an incremental cycle ergometer protocol. A detailed two-dimensional and Doppler echocardiogram was obtained for systolic and diastolic left ventricular function.
resultsA total of 27 men participated in the study. After the intervention (n = 24), carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity decreased significantly from 8.7 (standard deviation (SD): 1.7) to 7.9 (SD: 1.9) m/s (p = 0.019), and augmentation index normalized for a heart rate of 75/min decreased significantly from 20.4 (SD: 8.7) to 17.5 (SD: 8.1; p = 0.017).
conclusionThe results suggest that a structured ambulatory rehabilitation program may improve pulsatile hemodynamics in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients.
