Beyond distance and heart rate: Reading 6-minute walk test
Article in World journal of experimental medicine, 2026. 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
The six-minute walk test (6MWT) remains a tool for assessing exercise capacity in heart failure, with six-minute walk distance as the endpoint. To enhance interpretability, vital signs such as heart rate and blood pressure may also be recorded in accordance with technical statements. However, beta-blockers often blunt heart-rate-based readouts during the 6MWT, thereby reducing the interpretability of six-minute walk distance. Akimova
