Does the Addition of Strength Training to a High-Intensity Interval Training Program Benefit More the Patients with Chronic Heart Failure.
Article in Reviews in cardiovascular medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02387411 (High-intensity Interval Versus Combined High-intensity Interval and Strength Exercise Training in Chronic Heart Failure), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.

Abstract
Background: Aerobic exercise, either continuous or high intensity interval training (HIIT), induces important benefits in chronic heart failure (CHF) patients. Resistance training has been also shown to be beneficial in CHF. However, data regarding combined aerobic exercise and muscle strength training is still limited. The aim of this study was to investigate whether adding strength training to a HIIT protocol within a cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program has a cumulative beneficial effect on the functional capacity (FC) and quality of life (QoL) in patients with CHF. Methods: Forty-four consecutive patients [35 males, ejection fraction (EF) Results: Most of the CPET indices, EF, 1RM test, muscular endurance and QoL were improved after the CR program in each exercise training group ( Conclusions: An exercise-based CR program, consisted of either HIIT or HIIT combined with strength training, improves FC and QoL of patients with CHF. However, the addition of strength training to HIIT seems to have further beneficial effects on chest muscle strength and endurance, as well as workload at AT. Clinical Trial Registration: The study was registered in ClinicalTrials.gov with number NCT02387411.
