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

Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach that combines exercise training, risk factor management, and psychosocial support, contributing to managing heart failure (HF). Despite its proven benefits, CR remains underutilized due to challenges such as limited accessibility and patient adherence. This reviews the beneficial effects of exercise on HF, including improvements in peak oxygen consumption. It outlines the key steps on the patient's journey toward a CR program, such as referral processes, risk stratification, and exercise prescription. It also explores the different types of CR programs and delivery models designed to enhance patient engagement and improve long-term adherence. Furthermore, it outlines clinical scenarios needing customized exercise prescriptions, including atrial fibrillation, pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, ventricular assist devices, and heart transplantation.
