Strong Adherence to Cardiac Rehabilitation Program Improves Exercise Tolerance in Outpatients With Cardiovascular Disease.
Article in Cardiology research, 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: Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs are recommended in outpatients at least three times a week, but high-frequency visits can be difficult due to patients' work schedules. The association between the frequency of exercise-based CR and the increase in exercise tolerance is not well known. We evaluated the effect of CR once a week or more for improving exercise tolerance. Methods: This is a retrospective observational study. From February 2011 to January 2020, 110 outpatients who participated in CR and performed a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) two times (initially and within 6 months) were registered. We divided the patients into those who participated in CR once a week or more (n = 75) and less than once a week (n = 35) and compared the changes in the results of CPET. Results: Overall, the median patient age was 68.5 (59-74) years, 69.1% were males, and the body mass index was 23.8 (20.2-27.4) kg/m Conclusions: Patients who participated in a CR program once a week or more showed improved exercise tolerance.
