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
Objective: This study aimed to quantitatively evaluate the impact of cardiopulmonary rehabilitation (CPR) exercise training on cardiopulmonary structure and function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) complicated by unstable angina (UA) pectoris, based on a hierarchical deep learning (DL) CT image model. Methods: This prospective randomized controlled trial enrolled 400 patients with COPD complicated by UA pectoris, stratified according to GOLD grades (I-IV), who were randomly allocated to an experimental group (EG, n = 200, receiving 12 weeks of standard CPR training) and a control group (CG, n = 200, receiving conventional care). A multi-task 3D U-Net + ResNet50 DL model was constructed to automatically quantify four categories of imaging biomarkers from chest high-resolution CT (HRCT) and coronary CT angiography images: lung parenchyma (percentage of low attenuation volume, LAV%, 15th percentile density Perc15, mean lung density, MLD), airways (percentage of airway wall thickness WA%, Pi10), pulmonary vasculature (percentage of blood vessels <5 mm in cross-sectional area BV%, vascular fractal dimension), and heart (coronary artery calcium score, CACS, left ventricular mass, LVM, ejection fraction, EF, stroke volume, SV). Concurrently, pulmonary function, cardiopulmonary exercise testing parameters, and 6-min walk distance (6MWD) were assessed at baseline, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks of the intervention. Results: Versus CG, after 12 weeks of intervention, EG demonstrated notable imaging improvements across all GOLD grades: decreased LAV%, increased Perc15 and MLD; reduced WA% and Pi10; increased BV5% and vascular fractal dimension; improved EF and SV, and decreased LVM (all Conclusion: CPR not only substantially improves clinical cardiopulmonary function but also induces beneficial structural remodeling of the lung parenchyma, airways, pulmonary vasculature, and heart in patients with COPD complicated by UA pectoris. The DL-based CT image quantification framework provides reliable imaging biomarkers for objectively evaluating rehabilitation efficacy in these comorbid patients, offering new evidence for personalized management of cardiopulmonary comorbidities.
