Effects of telecardiac rehabilitation on coronary heart disease: A PRISMA-compliant systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
backgroundWe performed a meta-analysis to investigate the effectiveness of telecardiac rehabilitation compared to center-based rehabilitation on cardiorespiratory fitness, blood pressure, blood lipids, body composition, and quality of life in patients with coronary heart disease.
methodsWe searched the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Cochrane, Embase, and Scopus databases and retrieved studies published until October 8, 2021. Randomized controlled trials were included to evaluate cardiorespiratory fitness, blood pressure, blood lipids, body composition, and quality of life after telecardiac rehabilitation and center-based rehabilitation in patients with coronary heart disease. The criteria of the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions were used to evaluate the methodological quality of the studies. Funnel plot analysis and Egger test were performed to confirm the publication bias.
resultsA total of 8 studies, including 750 participants, reported the effectiveness of the telecardiac rehabilitation and center-based rehabilitation included in the analysis. Except for total cholesterol and mental quality of life (P < .05), all parameters were not significantly different between telecardiac rehabilitation and center-based rehabilitation (P > .05).
conclusionTelecardiac rehabilitation was similar to the effects of center-based rehabilitation. The overall prognosis of patients with coronary heart disease can be improved by increasing patients' participation in cardiac rehabilitation through telerehabilitation.
