Enhanced effects of augmented reality-based cardiac rehabilitation in the first phase on recovery quality in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
Article in Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundOpen-heart surgery is considered as a major treatment for severe coronary artery stenosis with some possible post-operative complications. The successful implementation of the first phase of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program can make a fall in incidence of these clinical complications. In this study, we aimed to determine the effects of the first phase of cardiac rehabilitation program on quality of recovery (QoR) in patients after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) based on augmented reality techniques.
methodsThe clinical trial, conducted from April 2020 to January 2021 at Ghaem Hospital in Iran, involved 60 ICU patients post-open-heart surgery, divided into treatment and control groups. The treatment group used a software-based phase-1 cardiac rehabilitation program featuring videos and images, while the control group followed a standard rehabilitation routine. Data was analyzed using SPSS, employing descriptive statistics and tests such as the Student's t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Chi-square test.
resultsAccording to the findings of this study, the mean overall QoR score indicated an increase for both treatment and control groups in ICU admission/discharge time. But, patients in the treatment group had a statistically significant increase in comparison with non-significant changes in the control group (P < 0.001).
conclusionThe study found that using augmented reality for early-stage rehabilitation in the ICU can enhance recovery quality for patients after coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Hence, AR technology could be integrated into various stages of cardiac rehabilitation.
