Effects of high-intensity interval training on cardiopulmonary function and quality of life in patients with myocardial infarction: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 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
Background: High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is increasingly used in cardiac rehabilitation. Its effects on cardiopulmonary function and quality of life in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) require systematic evaluation. Methods: A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Central, and CNKI from inception to April 1, 2025. Randomized controlled trials assessing the effects of HIIT on peak heart rate (HRpeak), peak oxygen uptake (VO₂peak), respiratory exchange ratio (RER), and quality of life (QOL) in post-MI patients were included. Data were synthesized using a random-effects model. Standardized mean differences (SMDs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. Heterogeneity was assessed with the I² statistic, and sensitivity analyses were performed. Results: Nine trials with 508 participants were included. HIIT did not significantly affect HRpeak (SMD = -0.20; 95% CI: -1.10 to 0.70; I Conclusions: HIIT may influence selected cardiopulmonary indicators in post-MI patients, particularly metabolic efficiency. Its effects on exercise capacity and quality of life remain uncertain. Further research with standardized protocols is needed.
