Physical Activity in End-Stage Renal Disease Patients: The Effects of Starting Dialysis in the First 6 Months after the Transition Period.

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
objectivesPhysical inactivity in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients is associated with increased mortality, and might be related to abnormalities in body composition (BC) and physical performance. It is uncertain to what extent starting dialysis influences the effects of ESRD on physical activity (PA). This study aimed to compare PA and physical performance between stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD-5) non-dialysis and dialysis patients, and healthy controls, to assess alterations in PA during the transition from CKD-5 non-dialysis to dialysis, and to relate PA to BC.
methodsFor the cross-sectional analyses 44 CKD-5 non-dialysis patients, 29 dialysis patients, and 20 healthy controls were included. PA was measured by the SenseWear™ pro3. Also, the walking speed and handgrip strength (HGS) were measured. BC was measured by the Body Composition Monitor©. Longitudinally, these parameters were assessed in 42 CKD-5 non-dialysis patients (who were also part of the cross-sectional analysis), before the start of dialysis and 6 months thereafter.
resultsPA was significantly lower in CKD-5 non-dialysis patients as compared to that in healthy controls but not as compared to that in dialysis patients. HGS was significantly lower in dialysis patients as compared to that in healthy controls. Walking speed was significantly lower in CKD-5 non-dialysis patients as compared to that in healthy controls but not as compared to that in dialysis patients. Six months after starting dialysis, activity related energy expenditure (AEE) and walking speed significantly increased.
conclusionsPA is already lower in CKD-5 non-dialysis patients as compared to that in healthy controls and does not differ from that of dialysis patients. However, the transition phase from CKD-5 non-dialysis to dialysis is associated only with a modest improvement in AEE.
