Effects of cardiac rehabilitation on cognitive function in patients with acute coronary syndrome: A systematic review.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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: Construction of an intervention method for the cognitive dysfunction of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is needed. Exercise-based comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation is a potentially effective approach that can improve cognitive function in ACS patients. This study aimed to investigate the effect of cardiac rehabilitation on cognitive function in ACS patients through a systematic review. Methods: A systematic review was conducted of studies on PubMed, MEDLINE, Web of Science, and the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) on September 13, 2022, to identify those reporting the effects of cardiac rehabilitation on cognitive function in ACS patients. Data that reported exercise-based comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation and cognitive function (even if not main results and any type of cognitive function assessment was used) were extracted. Results: In total, six studies were included that comprised a total of 1085 ACS patients. Overall positive effects of cardiac rehabilitation on cognitive function in ACS patients were reported across the six studies. All studies included aerobic exercise, resistance exercise, and patient education in cardiac rehabilitation. Meta-analysis could not be undertaken because each dataset used different methods to evaluate cognitive function, and the outcomes were different. Conclusions: This systematic review showed that cardiac rehabilitation could have positive effects on cognitive function in ACS patients. Our results support the efficacy of cardiac rehabilitation for cognitive function in ACS patients. Additional well-designed clinical trials of exercise-based comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation should be conducted to clarify the true effect on cognitive function in ACS patients.
