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
Purpose: Chronic heart failure (CHF) impairs heart function and affects patients' well-being, while cardiac rehabilitation (CR) improves outcomes. In this cross-sectional survey, we assessed knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) related to CR in patients with CHF and their family caregivers. Patients and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted at Heping Hospital, affiliated with Changzhi Medical College, from July 1 to October 10, 2024. Data were collected using questionnaires that included demographic information and evaluations of KAP scores. A total of 500 questionnaires were distributed to eligible participants. Results: Of the 500 questionnaires distributed, 492 valid responses were obtained, yielding a response rate of 98.4%. Among the respondents, 277 (56.3%) were patients, with 191 (38.8%) aged 60 or older. The mean knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were 6.90 ± 5.63 (range: 0-30), 33.43 ± 3.31 (range: 9-45), and 28.01 ± 4.46 (range: 8-40), respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified several factors associated with proactive practice: knowledge score (OR = 1.114, 95% CI: [1.053, 1.179]), college degree (OR = 3.089, 95% CI: [1.054, 9.053]), absence of medical insurance (OR = 6.762, 95% CI: [3.597, 12.713]), no family history of heart issues (OR = 4.414, 95% CI: [2.351, 8.288]), and non-participation in CR (OR = 0.206, 95% CI: [0.087, 0.489]). The SEM results showed that knowledge directly affected attitude (β = 0.321, p < 0.001) and practice (β = 0.285, p = 0.004), and attitude directly affected practice (β = 0.217, p < 0.001). Additionally, knowledge indirectly affected practice through attitude (β = 0.355, p < 0.001). Conclusion: Patients with CHF and their families showed insufficient knowledge but positive attitudes and proactive practices regarding CR. Targeted educational interventions are recommended to improve knowledge, particularly for younger patients and those without prior CR training, to enhance rehabilitation effectiveness.
