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
Introduction: This study aims to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of healthcare professionals in Cardiovascular Medicine, Cardiothoracic Surgery, and Intensive Care Units regarding exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) for coronary heart disease (CHD). Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted between April 2024 and June 2024 at TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital. Healthcare professionals from Cardiovascular Medicine, Cardiothoracic Surgery, and Intensive Care Units were recruited through convenience sampling via a WeChat-based online questionnaire. A self-developed KAP questionnaire was distributed, and structural equation modeling was used to examine relationships among knowledge, attitudes, and practices. Results: Analysis of 240 valid questionnaires revealed a response rate of 82%. Among the respondents, 66.7% were female, and 35.4% had 5-10 years of experience. The mean (SD) scores were: knowledge 8.60 (1.20) out of 10, attitude 29.14 (2.15) out of 30, and practice 32.80 (3.77) out of 35. Structural equation modeling indicated that knowledge was directly associated with attitude ( Conclusion: The findings suggest that healthcare professionals possess adequate knowledge and positive attitudes toward CR for CHD. To improve clinical outcomes, targeted training programs should be established to enhance knowledge and ensure the translation of positive attitudes into practice.
