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

Background: Home-Based Cardiac Telerehabilitation (HBCTR) is a potential alternative to center-based programs, but its effectiveness remains unclear. This meta-analysis evaluated the impact of this treatment on clinical outcomes and patient-reported quality of life (QoL). Methods: We searched Cochrane Central, Google Scholar, and PubMed until September 1, 2025, for studies evaluating HBCTR versus usual care. The primary clinical outcomes were 6 min walk test (6 MWT), VO Results: Twelve studies comprising 1392 patients were included. HBCTR significantly improved 6MWT distance (MD: 18.76; 95% CI: 10.35-27.18; p < 0.0001), VO Conclusion: Compared to usual care, HBCTR improved functional capacity, systolic BP, VO
