Quality-of-life and functional outcomes in virtual vs traditional cardiac rehabilitation: A retrospective cohort study.
Article in American journal of preventive cardiology, 2026. 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
Virtual cardiac rehabilitation (VCR) offers a potential strategy to expand access to cardiac rehabilitation and address participation barriers, including transportation, work obligations, and limited program availability. This retrospective cohort study compared quality-of-life, functional capacity, and other clinical outcomes between patients enrolled in VCR and traditional cardiac rehabilitation (TCR) at a single academic center between June 2022 and August 2024. Outcomes of interest included changes in Dartmouth COOP quality-of-life scores, metabolic equivalents (METs), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Rate Your Plate dietary scores, body mass index (BMI), and systolic and diastolic blood pressure. A total of 171 patients (40 VCR, 131 TCR) were included. VCR participants demonstrated greater improvement in Dartmouth COOP scores (-5.13 ± 4.65vs -3.20 ± 4.34;
