Exercise Prescription Guidelines for Cardiovascular Disease Patients in the Absence of a Baseline Stress Test.
Article in Journal of cardiovascular development and disease, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers.
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
Aerobic exercise is a core component of cardiac rehabilitation (CR). Leading organizations recommend that the exercise prescriptions should be based on a symptom limited baseline graded exercise test (GXT). However, recent evidence suggests that only ~30% of CR clinics perform baseline GXTs. Consequently, exercise prescriptions including exercise progression in CR are not following standard exercise prescription guidelines. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to provide clinicians with evidence-based techniques for prescribing exercise in the absence of a baseline GXT. Intensity indicators (e.g., heart rate, perceived exertion) are reviewed, along with special exercise considerations for various disease states (e.g., heart failure, peripheral artery disease, and coronary artery disease). Baseline exercise testing remains the gold standard approach for prescribing exercise among heart disease patients, however, clinicians must be prepared to safely develop and monitor patients when a baseline GXT is not performed.
