Effects of exercise training on cardiovascular risk factors in kidney transplant recipients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Renal failure, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06249477 (Weight Loss and Physical Activity Lifestyle Interventions In Post Liver And Kidney Transplants), which is not on this map. Cited by 20 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.

Abstract
backgroundWhether exercise can improve cardiovascular health in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) is unclear. Therefore, we performed a systematic review of the effects of exercise on cardiovascular risk factors in this population setting.
methodsRandomized control trials (RCTs) evaluating the impact of exercise on major clinical outcomes in KTRs were identified by searches in Cochrane CENTRAL, PubMed, EMBASE, OVID and CBM updated to December 2018. The main outcomes of interest were blood pressure, lipid profile, blood glucose level, arterial stiffness, kidney function, body weight, body mass index, exercise tolerance (VO
resultsAfter screening 445 studies in the database, we included 12 RCTs in the review and 11 RCTs for further qualitative analysis. The results indicate a significant improvement in small arterial stiffness [mean difference (MD): -1.14, 95% confidence interval (CI): -2.19-0.08, p = .03], VO
conclusionExercise intervention in KTRs improves arterial stiffness but does not consistently contribute to the modification of other CVD risk factors like hypertension, dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, decreased kidney function and obesity. Exercise also improves exercise tolerance and QOL in KTRs.
