Clinical Characteristics of Cardiovascular Disease Patients With Dynapenia and the Effects of Outpatient Physical Therapy.
Article in Circulation 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
Background: Dynapenia is characterized by normal muscle mass with low muscle function, but its response to cardiac rehabilitation is not fully understood, so we aimed to clarify the clinical characteristics of cardiovascular disease (CVD) patients with dynapenia and evaluate the effects of a 3month outpatient physical therapy program. Methods and Results: Data from 62 CVD patients who completed the outpatient physical therapy program were analyzed; 12 (19.4%) met the diagnostic criteria for dynapenia. After 3 months, short Physical Performance Battery scores increased from 10.4±1.3 to 11.2±1.9, knee extension strength from 0.43±0.19 to 0.46±0.19 kgf/kg, and Mini Nutritional Assessment®︎ scores from 22.4±3.2 to 25.5±2.8 (all P<0.05). Conclusions: Outpatient physical therapy may improve physical function, muscle strength, and nutritional status in CVD patients with dynapenia.
