Effects of home-based exercise with or without cognitive training on cognition and mobility in cardiac patients: A randomized clinical trial.
Trial report in GeroScience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
This randomized controlled trial compared the effects of home-based exercise, with or without cognitive training, on cognition and physical function in individuals aged 50 years and older with stable CVD during the COVID-19 pandemic. 122 patients (67.3 ± 7.9 years, 71% men) with stable CVD (77% coronary heart disease) were randomly assigned (1:1) to (1) Home-based physical exercise alone, or (2) Home-based physical exercise combined with cognitive training. Cognition (executive functions (primary outcome), processing speed, episodic memory, and working memory) and physical functions were assessed remotely at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. Adjusted mean changes from baseline to 3 months and 6 months for executive functions, episodic memory, working memory, sit-to-stand test, gait speed, and timed up-and-go test were significant in the overall sample (p < 0.05). Furthermore, executive functions, episodic memory, sit-to-stand test, and timed up-and-go performances were significantly improved at 6 months in both groups when analyzed separately although no group differences were observed. Mean exercise dose differed significantly between the 2 groups: 1413 vs 953 METs.min
