Aerobic exercise in adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD): a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in International urology and 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 NCT06173141 (Effect of Intradialytic Continuous Versus Interval Aerobic Exercises on Functional Capacity Quality of Life and in Patients With Chronic Renal Failure.), which is not on this map. Cited by 49 papers, 11 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
purposePatients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are frail and have high risk of cardiovascular disease. This study was performed to assess the effects of aerobic exercise training in adults with CKD.
methodsMEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL, Web of Science were searched up to December 2018 to identify eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that studied aerobic exercise in adults with CKD. Primary outcomes include oxygen consumption at peak exercise (VO
resultsThirty-one trials, containing 1305 adults with CKD, were included. The most used aerobic exercise program was characterized as moderate intensity (15/31), 3 times/week frequency (22/31), 30 min duration (9/31) and 3 months follow-up (12/31). Significant improvement was observed in cardiorespiratory function (VO
conclusionsAerobic exercise training could benefit adult CKD patients in increasing cardiorespiratory function, exercise duration, HDL-C level and improve health quality of life.
