Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.

What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Registry record from ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT07468344). This is a study registration, not published results. Lead sponsor: Central Hospital, Nancy, France. Recruitment status: RECRUITING. Phase: NA. Study type: INTERVENTIONAL. Enrollment: 46 participants (ESTIMATED). Conditions: Heart Failure. Interventions: DEVICE: Sauna. Primary outcome measures: Median change in NT-proBNP levels. , Between randomization and the end of the third week.. Brief summary: This study aims to evaluate the effect of sauna therapy on congestion levels during cardiac rehabilitation in patients with heart failure who have an impaired or moderately impaired ejection fraction, compared to standard cardiac rehabilitation care. To investigate this, patients with reduced cardiac function who are hospitalized as part of a cardiac rehabilitation program will be included. These patients will be randomly assigned to two groups: standard cardiac rehabilitation program (control group) and sauna group (intervention group). The study will also assess whether this approach could allow for a reduction in the dose of diuretics, which are commonly used to remove excess fluid, thereby helping to avoid certain side effects. The expected benefits include a reduction in symptoms such as shortness of breath and swelling, improvements in quality of life and physical fitness, and enhanced blood vessel function.
