The impact of home-based telerehabilitation versus center-based cardiac rehabilitation on anxiety, depression, and quality of life after coronary artery bypass grafting: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07232693 (The Impact of Home-Based Telerehabilitation Versus Center-Based Cardiac Rehabilitation on Anxiety, Depression, and Quality of Life After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
backgroundAnxiety, depression, and reduced quality of life are common after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), yet participation in traditional center-based cardiac rehabilitation (CBCR) is limited by access barriers. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of a home-based telerehabilitation (HBTCR) program with CBCR in improving psychological and quality-of-life outcomes for post-CABG patients.
methodsIn this prospective randomized controlled trial, 110 clinically stable patients 4–8 weeks post-CABG were allocated to a 12-week HBTCR program (wearable monitoring, mobile app, weekly nurse support), CBCR (supervised center sessions), or usual care. Primary outcomes were changes in Hamilton Anxiety (HAMA) and Depression (HAMD-17) scores. The secondary outcome was change in health-related quality of life (SF-36).
resultsBoth HBTCR and CBCR groups demonstrated significant and comparable improvements compared to usual care (mean HAMA change: -8.3 vs. -7.9 vs. -1.1, P < 0.001; HAMD-17: -9.5 vs. -9.1 vs. -1.5, P < 0.001). No significant difference was found between HBTCR and CBCR. Quality of life improved significantly across all SF-36 domains in both intervention groups versus control (P < 0.01).
conclusionsA structured home-based telerehabilitation program is as effective as traditional center-based rehabilitation in alleviating psychological distress and enhancing quality of life after CABG. HBTCR represents a vital, accessible alternative to deliver comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation and overcome participation barriers.
