Acute exercise during hemodialysis prevents the decrease in natural killer cells in patients with chronic kidney disease: a pilot study.
Trial report in International urology and nephrology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
purposeTo evaluate the acute response of natural killer (NK) cell subsets of chronic kidney disease patients submitted to intradialytic exercise in a randomized crossover study.
methodsNine patients were submitted to a single bout of 20-min intradialytic exercise and a control hemodialysis (HD) session with an interval of 7 days between them. Peripheral blood sample was collected at baseline, during HD and immediately after HD in each trial to evaluate the peripheral frequency of NK cells and their subsets (CD3-CD56
resultsHD therapy induced a significant decrease in NK cells frequency (p = 0.039), NK CD3-CD56
conclusionsThis study suggests the potential role of intradialytic exercise to prevent the decrease in peripheral frequency of NK cell subsets during HD therapy. Moreover, moderate intensity intradialytic exercise did not exacerbate the systemic inflammation or induce muscle damage during HD therapy.
