Cardiac Rehabilitation Exercise in Korea.
Review in Physical therapy research, 2025. 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
objectivesThis study aimed to systematically review exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs implemented in South Korea since their inclusion in the National Health Insurance System in 2017.
methodsA systematic literature search was conducted using international and Korean databases for studies published after January 2017. The inclusion criterion was exercise-based CR intervention in patients with cardiac disease in South Korea. The methodological quality of each study was assessed using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database scale.
resultsA total of 11 studies met our inclusion criteria. Most CR programs are hospital-based, whereas some incorporate home-based, aquatic, or forest environments. The exercise prescriptions followed the FITT (frequency, intensity, time, and type) principle and often included aerobic and high-intensity interval training. The reported outcomes included improvements in cardiopulmonary fitness, physical activity, and psychological well-being. Despite their clinical effectiveness, participation in CR programs remains low in Korea owing to accessibility and institutional limitations.
conclusionsExercise-based CR programs in Korea demonstrated clinical benefits and diversified delivery models. Further efforts are required to enhance accessibility and promote wider adoption through policy and infrastructure development.
