The Long-Term Impact of Cardiac Rehabilitation on Cognitive Function in Older Patients With Myocardial Infarction: A Systematic Review.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Myocardial Infarction (MI) is an obstruction in the coronary arteries, resulting in restricted blood flow and oxygen supply to the heart, leading to damage to the heart's tissues. Beyond the cardiovascular system, the impact of MI extends to potentially affecting cognitive abilities, especially in elderly populations. To optimize patient recovery and long-term outcomes, timely cardiac interventions and subsequent rehabilitation programs are essential. This systematic review aims to assess the potential benefits of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) in enhancing cognitive function among elderly individuals who have experienced an MI. The review adheres to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses 2020 guidelines and utilizes PubMed, PubMed Central, Cochrane, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect databases. Studies included in the review encompass meta-analyses, controlled trials, systematic/narrative reviews, randomized/nonrandomized trials, observational studies, and research articles published within the past five years. Only accessible, full-text English-language studies meeting the inclusion criteria are selected, while books, documents over five years old, animal studies, and individuals under 65 are excluded. Following a predefined template, the initial search identifies 4,915 studies. From this pool, 27 free full-text articles are then selected for quality appraisal based on relevance. After performing a quality assessment on each survey, 12 high-quality studies are included in this systematic review. The research studies demonstrate notable cognitive improvements among elderly patients who have experienced an MI and participated in CR programs. Additional clinical trial studies are recommended to substantiate these findings further and advance our understanding.
