Review in Journal of cardiovascular development and disease, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of exercise on vascular flow-mediated dilation (FMD) in patients with heart failure (HF) and to identify the optimal exercise model for this population. A comprehensive search was conducted in the Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases, including data published up to 18 August 2025. A meta-analysis was conducted to calculate standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence interval. Eleven studies met the inclusion criteria, comprising 224 participants in the intervention groups and 185 participants in the control groups. The results demonstrated that exercise significantly improved FMD (SMD = 1.14,
