Ensuring safety of exercise training through non-invasive measurement of cardiac function: A pilot study in adults.
Article in Physiological reports, 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
Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) improves exercise capacity, but frequent cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is impractical. The AESCULON mini enables non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring, though its role in CR remains unclear. Eleven patients (6 myocardial infarction, 3 angina pectoris, 2 dilated cardiomyopathy) undergoing outpatient CR at the University of Tokyo Hospital were studied. Hemodynamics were measured using the AESCULON mini before and after 20 min of aerobic exercise at the anaerobic threshold. CPET and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) were assessed within 2 weeks. Stroke volume, cardiac output, and cardiac index tended to increase, and thoracic fluid content (TFC) decreased post-exercise. TFC before (r = 0.767, p = 0.006) and after (r = 0.711, p = 0.014) correlated with BNP. Changes in stroke volume and cardiac output correlated with peak VO
