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
Preliminary evidence suggests that Tai Chi may effectively relieve pain symptoms, increase quality of life, and reduce cardiovascular risk in patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS). However, few randomized controlled trials have specifically investigated the potential benefits of Tai Chi in patients with CCS, particularly regarding its effects on psychological stress and cellular stress levels. To evaluate the effectiveness of a hybrid Tai Chi cardiac rehabilitation programme in reducing perceived stress and oxidative stress in diagnosed patients. Forty-six patients with CCS were randomly assigned to 12 weeks of either a Tai Chi cardiac rehabilitation programme (TCCRP, n = 23) or a conventional exercise cardiac rehabilitation programme (CECRP, n = 23) (3 sessions per week). All participants continued their routine drug treatments daily. The main outcome measure was the Chinese Perceived Stress Scale (CPSS). The secondary outcome measures included the antioxidant enzymes catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and the stress marker oxidised low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL). The data were analysed by 2-way mixed analysis of variance with post hoc Bonferroni adjustment and paired t tests. The group-by-time interaction effect on CPSS was significantly different (MD = -7.71, 95% CI [-10.750, -4.678], p < 0.001). Within the TCCRP group, the CPSS score significantly decreased (p < 0.05) from baseline to the end of the intervention. Notably, in the CECRP group, the CPSS score increased (p < 0.05) at the end of the intervention. The CAT and GSH-Px levels increased markedly in the TCCRP group after the intervention (p < 0.001). Spearman's correlation analysis revealed that CPSS was positively correlated with ox-LDL (r = 0.569, p < 0.05) and negatively correlated with GSH-Px (r = -0.585, p < 0.05). The correlation in the control group was not statistically significant (r = -0.148, p > 0.05). A 12-week hybrid Tai Chi cardiac rehabilitation programme can effectively regulate psychological stress perception and reduce physiological stress levels in patients with coronary heart disease.
