Synthesis in Journal of nephrology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05715580 (A Clinical Trial to Assess the Impact of Nursing Intervention in the Adherence to Drug Treatment and to a Healthy Lifestyle in Kidney Transplant Patients), which is not on this map.

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.

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.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND

aimsEvidences on the benefits of physical exercise in kidney transplant patients (KTx) are not conclusive and concerns on safety remain. We here gather and interpret current evidence on the benefits/harms of exercise training intervention in KTx.

methodsSystematic review of exercise training programs in KTx.

resultsA total of 24 studies including 654 KTx patients on intervention and 536 controls were evaluated. The median age was 46 years; the transplant vintage was 2 days to 10 years. The intervention was an aerobic or resistance exercise program or a combination of both; interventions consisted of 20-60 min' sessions, 2-3 times per week repetitions and 5.5 months' median duration. Most studies improved cardiorespiratory fitness (expressed as VO

conclusionsIn adult kidney transplant patients, a structured physical exercise program improved the aerobic capacity and ameliorated muscle performance and quality of life. No harms were observed in the short-term, but long-term RCTs are required. Overall, in mid-age kidney transplant patients without major comorbidities, an aerobic or resistance supervised exercise lasting 3-6 months could be suggested within the comprehensive treatment of kidney transplant.
