The type of exercise most beneficial for quality of life in people with atrial fibrillation: a network meta-analysis.
Review in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 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
Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) significantly detracts from health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Despite the promotion of exercise interventions for managing AF, the effectiveness of different exercise modalities remains to be clearly defined. This systematic review and network meta-analysis aims to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of various modes of exercise interventions on HRQoL in AF patients. Methods: A random-effect network meta-analysis was performed. We conducted comprehensive searches across multiple databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Chinese databases such as CNKI, WanFang Data, and VIP. The review included only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that investigated the effects of exercise interventions on HRQoL among individuals diagnosed with AF. Results: The network meta-analysis (NMA) incorporated 12 studies, of which five presented some concerns regarding risk of bias and one exhibited a high risk of bias. For total HRQoL in AF patients, aerobic exercise, and cardiac rehabilitation (CR) yielded standardised mean differences of 0.60 (95% CI: 0.02-1.13) and 0.59 (95% CI: 0.20-0.99), respectively. For the physical component of HRQoL, CR was most efficacious, demonstrating the highest Surface Under the Cumulative RAnking curve (SUCRA) value of 77%. For the mental component of HRQoL, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) was superior, with the highest SUCRA value of 90.7%. Conclusions: Both aerobic exercise and CR effectively improve the physical and mental dimensions of HRQoL as well as overall HRQoL in patients with AF. However, for the mental component of HRQoL, HIIT was identified as the most effective intervention.
