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.

2 · The registry

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

aimTo investigate the effects of progressive resistance exercises on quality of life and functional capacity in pediatric patients with chronic kidney disease.

methodsThirty-two children with chronic kidney disease from both genders, age ranged from 8 to 12 years participated in this study. They were allocated randomly into two groups of equal numbers, standard medical care (SC) and exercise (EX) groups. The SC group received standard medical care with no change of their regular daily activities. The EX group received progressive resistance exercises for 60 minutes two times a week in addition to the standard medical care for six successive months. OUTCOME MEASURES: Included the pediatric quality of life inventory and six-minutes walking test to assess quality of life and functional capacity respectively.

resultsThere were statistically significant improvements in the post-test quality of life and functional capacity in the EX group (p<0.05). The SC group showed significant decrease of quality of life and non-significant change was recorded regarding their functional capacity (p<0.05). The post-test comparison between the two groups revealed significant difference in favor of the EX group in all measured variables.

conclusionProgressive resistance exercises contributed to the improvement of quality of life and functional capacity in pediatric patients with chronic kidney disease.
