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
backgroundCardiac rehabilitation (CR) is crucial for addressing cardiovascular diseases globally, with a specific emphasis on gender differences. Despite its demonstrated benefits for women, there's limited acceptance globally, especially in low- and middle-income countries. The program aims to optimize risk factors and improve overall patient well-being.
methodsA cohort study was performed on those who were candidates for CR programs during 2001-2019. Assessments were performed within one week before and one week after the 8-week CR program. Age, sex, smoking status, clinical data, resting systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP, respectively), echocardiography and laboratory data were obtained. Functional capacity was evaluated using the international physical activity questionnaire, and a treadmill exercise test. Anxiety, depression, general quality of life (QoL), and health-related QoL were selected for psychological status. Then statistical analysis was performed on data.
resultIn this study, the number of male patients was 1526 (73.69%). The average age of patients in the female group was higher than that of males (58.66 ± 9.08 vs. 56.18 ± 9.94), according to the crude model results, the changes in emotional, social and physical scores were significant (P-value:0.028, 0.018, 0.030), as well as the differences in Mets and smoking were significant (P-value for both < 0.001) in the adjusted model, the emotional variables and Mets changes were significant in two groups, so that the emotional score in the female group was higher than that of the male group, and the female Mets score was significantly lower than that of the male group.
conclusionThe CR program can improve cardiovascular outcomes, but the greatest impact was on the quality of life, patient METs and smoking behavers. Also the number of female participants in the CR program was less than the number of males.
