Study protocol for a controlled clinical trial on cardiac telerehabilitation and educational follow-up in patients with heart failure.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05761639 (Physical Exercise and Telephone Follow-up Mediated by Cardiac Telerehabilitation in Patients With Heart Failure), which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper.
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

Abstract
backgroundHeart failure is a primary non-communicable disease in Latin America and the Caribbean, which significantly reduces patients' quality of life. After diagnosis, emphasis is placed on cardiac rehabilitation and patient education regarding healthy lifestyles and habits. Interdisciplinary management is crucial in this process. However, lack of treatment adherence is a recurring issue in this population. In this context, technology allows us to address non-adherence to treatment. Its implementation helps overcome barriers and achieve treatment goals.
objectiveTo determine the effects of a cardiac telerehabilitation-mediated exercise program and telephone educational follow-up on functional capacity in patients with heart failure, compared with cardiac telerehabilitation and conventional outpatient cardiac rehabilitation.
methodsThis article presents a SPIRIT-compliant protocol study of a three-arm, controlled, crossover clinical trial using participant blinding and simple sealed envelope block randomization.
conclusionAccording to the literature review, this can be considered the first three-arm clinical trial in the telerehabilitation of patients with heart failure. The measurement and intervention instruments are comparable and adequate compared to other studies.
