Technological Developments, Exercise Training Programs, and Clinical Outcomes in Cardiac Telerehabilitation in the Last Ten Years: A Systematic Review.
Review in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundCardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are associated with very high rates of re-hospitalization and mortality worldwide, so the complexity of these pathologies requires frequent access to hospital facilities. The guidelines also emphasize the importance of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs, which have demonstrated a favorable effect on outcomes, and cardiac telerehabilitation (CTR) could represent an innovative healthcare delivery model. The aim of our review is to study how technologies used in rehabilitation have changed over time and also to understand what types of rehabilitation programs have been used in telerehabilitation.
methodsWe searched randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in three electronic databases, PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus, from January 2015 to January 2024, using relevant keywords. Initially, 502 articles were found, and 79 duplicates were identified and eliminated with EndNote.
resultsIn total, 16 RCTs fulfilled the pre-defined criteria, which were analyzed in our systematic review. The results showed that after CTR, there was a significant improvement in main outcome measures, as well as in relation to technological advances.
conclusionsMoreover, compared to center-based rehabilitation, CTR can offer further advantages, with better cost-effectiveness, the breakdown of geographical barriers, and the improvement of access to treatment for the female population, which is traditionally more socially committed.
