1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a cardiac rehabilitation program on the acute response on endothelial progenitor cells and circulating endothelial cells after maximal exercise in patients with chronic heart failure of different severity. Methods: Forty-four chronic heart failure patients were enrolled in a 36-session cardiac rehabilitation program. All patients underwent an initial maximal cardiopulmonary exercise test before and a final maximal cardiopulmonary exercise test after the cardiac rehabilitation program. The patients were divided in two groups of severity according to the median value of peak VO Results: Although there was a higher increase in the mobilization of subgroups of endothelial progenitor cells and circulating endothelial cells after the final cardiopulmonary exercise test compared to the initial test within each severity group (p < 0.05), no significant differences between severity groups were observed (p > 0.05). Conclusions: A 36-session cardiac rehabilitation program had similar beneficial effects on the acute response of endothelial progenitor cells and circulating endothelial cells after maximal exercise in patients with chronic heart failure of different severity.
