Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation for heart failure: effects on echocardiographic parameters and functional capacity: a randomized clinical trial.

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: Multiple comorbidities and physiological changes play a role in a range of heart failure (HF) conditions and influence the most effective approach to exercise-based rehabilitation. This research aimed to examine and compare the outcomes of concurrent exercise training, focusing on echocardiographic parameters and functional capacity of patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Methods: In this randomized control trial, a total of 76 patients (average age: 68.2 ± 4.8 years) with HFrEF were randomly allocated into two groups: intervention group (IG, Results: The comparison of CG and IG showed that 6-min walking test (204.2 ± 28.72 vs. 273 ± 38.37) and ejection fraction (EF) (28.28 ± 4.39 vs. 37.23 ± 6.54) had increased, and left ventricle end-diastolic dimension (53.89 ± 4.73 vs. 46.71 ± 5.35) and left ventricle end-systolic dimension (45.55 ± 4.8 vs. 39 ± 5.26) had decreased after 8 weeks, respectively ( Conclusion: In summary, this study provides compelling evidence that exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation can lead to meaningful improvements in echocardiographic parameters and functional capacity among older adults with HF, advocating for its broader implementation in clinical settings.
