Home Exercise Therapy in Patients with Stable Congestive Heart Failure (CHF): A Scoping Review.
Review in Journal of multidisciplinary healthcare, 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
Background: Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is a chronic condition that drastically lowers patients' quality of life. In addition to pharmaceutical treatment, physical activity is crucial for improving cardiovascular function. However, limited access to health facilities makes home exercise therapy a more realistic option for many patients with stable conditions. Objective: To identify and map scientific evidence related to the application of home exercise therapy in stable CHF patients and the clinical outcomes it produces, using a scoping review technique. Methods: The search was conducted using keywords related to the predetermined topic of discussion by applying the PICO approach with keywords about adults with congestive heart failure, home exercise therapy, and cardiac rehabilitation. The databases used in the article search were PubMed, Science Direct, Research Gate, Sage Journals, mbase, Web of Science, and Google Scholar.The literature search was done in accordance with the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses) standards. Articles published in the previous ten years were selected using preset inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: The analysis indicated that several types of home exercise treatment, such as light to moderate intensity aerobic exercise, breathing exercises, and structured activity programs, were safe and useful in enhancing functional ability, quality of life, and decreasing rehospitalization rates. Regularity of exercise, family support, and simple monitoring by health workers greatly influenced the success of the intervention. Conclusion: Home exercise therapy is a feasible and practical approach for patients with stable CHF. Exercise programs tailored to the patient's condition can help improve cardiovascular function while positively impacting psychological and social aspects.
