Effects of cardiac rehabilitation on cardiopulmonary test parameters in heart failure: A real world experience.
Article in International journal of cardiology. Cardiovascular risk and prevention, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Background: Cardio-Pulmonary Exercise Test (CPET) is the gold standard for evaluation of patients with heart failure (HF); however, its use is limited in everyday practice. We analyzed the use of CPET for HF management in the real world. Methods: From 2009 to 2022, 341 patients with HF underwent 12-16 weeks of rehabilitation in our Centre. We present data from 203 patients (60%), excluding those unable to perform CPET, those with anaemia and severe pulmonary disease. Before and after rehabilitation, we performed CPET, blood tests and echocardiography, tailoring individual physical training to the results of baseline test. The following variables were considered: peak Respiratory Equivalent Ratio (RER), peakVO Results: Rehabilitation improved peak VO Conclusions: Rehabilitation in patients with heart failure induces a significant recovery of cardiorespiratory performance easily assessed by CPET, that is applicable to the majority of them and should be used routinely in the programming and evaluating of cardiac rehabilitation programs.
