Therapeutic effectiveness of specialized core mobilization exercise on cardiopulmonary function in open-heart surgery patients: A randomized control trial with single-blind study.
Trial report in Medicine, 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
backgroundTo compare the effects of conventional cardiopulmonary physical therapy (CCPT) and specialized core mobilization exercise (SCME) on cardiopulmonary function and functional difficulties in patients after open-heart surgery.
methodsThis randomized controlled, single-blind study used repeated-measures analysis of variance to examine time and group interaction effects across multiple postoperative assessment points. A post hoc Tukey test was performed when significant effects were identified. The study was conducted at the Myongji Hospital Cardiac Rehabilitation Center from June 2022 to July 2023 and included 37 patients (mean age = 66.1 ± 11.4 years) who were randomly assigned to the CCPT or SCME group.
resultsCompared with CCPT, SCME resulted in greater improvements in peak oxygen consumption, metabolic equivalents, forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in 1 second, maximal voluntary ventilation (P < .05), and Functional Difficulties Questionnaire scores (P < .01).
conclusionSCME demonstrated superior effects on peak oxygen consumption, selected pulmonary function parameters, and functional thoracic mobility compared with CCPT in patients after open-heart surgery.
