Exercise rehabilitation in cardiac resynchronization: systematic review and a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Heart failure reviews, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The benefit of exercise training in cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) recipients is not well established. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the effect of exercise training on clinical outcomes in CRT recipients.A comprehensive search until 2019 was conducted of MEDLINE, Epub, Embase, CINAHL and Cochrane databases as well as a bibliographic hand search to identify additional studies. We included all studies that compared aerobic exercise interventions in adults treated with CRT devices with adults treated with usual CRT care. These studies evaluated patient clinical characteristics, exercise testing measures, hemodynamic measures, echocardiography parameters, biomarkers and adverse events. Independent reviewers evaluated study eligibility, abstracted data and assessed risk of bias in duplicate. We used random-effect meta-analysis methods to estimate mean differences and odds ratios. Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation system were used to quantify absolute effects and quality of evidence. I
