Effects of high-intensity interval training on cardiopulmonary function and quality of life in post-PCI or CABG patients with coronary heart disease: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 2025. 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
backgroundHigh-intensity interval training (HIIT) has emerged as a potential cardiac rehabilitation strategy for coronary heart disease (CHD) post-surgery, but its efficacy compared to moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) remains uncertain.
aimThis meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effects of HIIT on cardiopulmonary function and quality of life in CHD patients post-PCI or CABG in comparison with MICT.
methodsWe systematically reviewed randomized controlled trials from PMID, Cochrane, Embase, Wanfang, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases comparing HIIT with MICT in CHD patients. Data on peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak), left ventricular ejection function (LVEF), heart rates, and quality of life were extracted and analyzed using random-or fixed-effects models based on heterogeneity.
resultsHIIT significantly improved VO
conclusionHIIT effectively enhances cardiopulmonary function and quality of life in CHD post-surgery. HIIT may be a time-efficient alternative to MICT in cardiac rehabilitation programs. However, publication bias and high heterogeneity warrant caution in interpreting these results, indicating a need for further research.
