Cardiac Rehabilitation: A Literature Review of Benefits, Challenges, and Emerging Approaches.
Review in Cureus, 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
Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) plays a vital role in the management of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), such as ischemic heart disease and heart failure, which remain major causes of illness and death worldwide. This literature review explores recent progress and future directions in CR, highlighting its importance as a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach. Modern programs now combine exercise training, nutritional guidance, psychosocial support, and lifestyle modification to improve recovery and prevent further cardiac events. The inclusion of technology, such as mobile health apps, wearable monitors, and virtual rehabilitation programs, has made CR more accessible and effective for diverse patient groups. Despite strong evidence showing that CR reduces mortality, improves functional capacity, and enhances quality of life, participation rates remain low. Barriers often include limited availability of programs, low referral rates, and challenges linked to socioeconomic and cultural factors. Addressing these issues requires practical strategies to improve awareness, accessibility, and patient adherence. Future research should focus on developing culturally adaptable and technology-driven models of CR that reach more patients and deliver long-term health benefits.
