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
Objective: To assess the effect of cardiac rehabilitation on symptoms and quality of life in patients with coronary artery disease (Non-obCAD) living at high altitudes who have positive results for cardiopulmonary exercise testing. Methods: A randomized controlled study was conducted. Hospitalized patients with suspected coronary heart disease were enrolled for coronary angiography. Based on the angiography findings, patients with Non-obCAD underwent cardiopulmonary exercise testing, and those with positive results were included in the study. With a random number table, patients with positive results for cardiopulmonary exercise testing were assigned to two groups, an experimental group receiving cardiac rehabilitation (individualized exercise plan) plus standard treatment and a control group receiving standard treatment alone. At enrollment and the 3-months follow-up, Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) and the 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) were used to evaluate the patients. The data of the two groups were analyzed and compared to evaluate the effect of cardiac rehabilitation on the symptoms and quality of life in Non-obCAD patients living at high altitudes who have positive results for cardiopulmonary exercise testing. Results: A total of 100 patients were included in the study, with 50 patients in the experimental group and 50 in the control group. The mean age in the experimental group was (55.0±6.8) years, while that in the control group was (56.6±9.1) years. Notably, at the time of enrollment, no significant differences were found between the two groups across all the SAQ measures. However, after 3 months of follow-up, the experimental group scored higher than the control group did in terms of physical limitation (75.6±5.0 vs. 72.1±5.9), angina stability (69.6±6.4 vs. 62.5±9.6), angina frequency (70.8±9.1 vs. 65.3±9.3), treatment satisfaction (79.5±5.0 vs. 76.3±4.7), and disease perception (84.9±5.2 vs. 80.4±3.8), with statistically significant differences between the two groups ( Conclusion: Cardiac rehabilitation is conducive to improvements in symptom and quality of life in Non-obCAD patients in high altitude areas with positive results for cardiopulmonary exercise testing. No adverse cardiovascular events occurred during the rehabilitation period, which validates preliminarily the safety and efficacy of cardiac rehabilitation in this patient population.
