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 evaluate the efficacy and safety of outpatient exercise training in clinically stabilized patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) after balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA).
methodsTwenty-four patients with CTEPH after BPA were enrolled in this prospective single-center study. Patients were assigned to the exercise and control groups. The exercise group comprised 12 patients who received 15 weeks of exercise training, with usual care. The control group received only the usual care, without exercise training. The exercise program included aerobic exercise thrice weekly and resistance exercise once or twice weekly. The assessments employed included a 6-min walk test, cardiopulmonary exercise testing, and an emPHasis-10 questionnaire.
resultsIn the exercise group, the 6-min walk distance was significantly longer (510.0 [467.5, 595.0] m vs. 425.0 [395.0, 465.0] m,
conclusionsExercise training improved gait performance, without any adverse events, in patients with CTEPH after BPA. Therefore, exercise training as an adjunct to medical therapy may be a safe potential therapy for patients with CTEPH after BPA.
