1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LVGLS) is a highly sensitive echocardiographic biomarker that detects signs of myocardial dysfunction. It has been proven that exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) improves LV-GLS but whether high-intensity interval training (HIIT) is more efficient than moderate-intensity interval training (MIIT) to improve LV-GLS as cardiac deformation index in cardiovascular patients is debatable. In the current systematic review and meta-analysis, different digital databases including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science (ISI), and Google Scholar were searched systematically with no time restriction to answer the abovementioned question. Studies were included that reported GLS as the outcome in CVD subjects before and after enrolling in HIIT and/or MITT. A random effects model was used for meta-analysis. Eleven sets of results from nine articles-two of which had two sets of results-were included. The result of the sensitivity test to check the publication bias was not significant either for MIIT (
