Examining the Role of Exercise Training in Enhancing Life for Adult Congenital Heart Disease: Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Arquivos brasileiros de cardiologia, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundCurrent guidelines advise exercise for most congenital heart disease patients (CHD). However, physical activity remains low in CHD individuals, with limited research on exercise's effects in adults.
objectivesThe aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of exercise training on exercise capacity and quality of life in adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) patients.
methodsWe searched PubMed/Medline, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Scopus through December 2022 for randomized controlled trials assessing aerobic and resistance training effects on exercise capacity and quality of life in ACHD. Out of 3,517 citations, ten eligible articles were included.
resultsMeta-analysis of the included randomized controlled trials (286 participants) found no significant change in peak oxygen consumption or quality of life in ACHD with exercise training (pooled mean difference = 0.33 ml/kg/min [95% CI, -0.88 to 1.54 ml/kg/min]; p = 0.60; I2= 3%). However, the increase in maximum workload was significant (pooled mean difference = 8.86 watts [95% CI, 0.78 to 16.93], p = 0.03, I2 = 0%).
conclusionsOur review confirms that exercise training increases the maximum workload in ACHD patients. However, the lack of a standardized protocol among exercise interventions in this population may have contributed to the absence of a significant change in peak VO2 and quality of life observed in the conducted studies. The heterogeneity of exercise programs could be a contributing factor to the inconsistency of the results. In this context, the implementation of standardized exercise protocols in future research, particularly with larger sample sizes, is crucial to enhance the comparability of outcomes. Well-designed randomized controlled trials studying structured exercise training in ACHD patients will provide clearer insights.
