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

Intradialytic cycling is a widely used workout mode, whereas added benefit of other exercise modalities remains unknown. This is the first randomised controlled trial on the effects and sustainability of functional training and counselling in addition to intradialytic cycling. Patients were randomly assigned to a kinesiologist-guided functional training in addition to intradialytic cycling (n = 20, experimental group) or intradialytic cycling only (n = 20, control group) over 16 weeks. The experimental group attended predialysis functional exercise in the first eight weeks and afterward performed functional training at home for the next eight weeks. The primary study endpoint was 10-repetition-sit-to-stand test time at eight weeks: at this test, the experimental group improved significantly better than controls (-4.5 ± 1.9 s, 95%CI -8.4 to -0.7; P = 0.021), which was maintained at week 16 (-4.7 ± 2.1 s, 95%CI -9.0 to -0.3; P = 0.037). At week 8, the experimental group significantly outperformed controls also at handgrip strength (P = 0.004), lower body flexibility test (P < 0.001), balance test (P < 0.001), and upper body flexibility test (P = 0.003). At week 16, superior results of the experimental group in secondary end-points remained preserved for handgrip strength, balance, and upper body flexibility tests. Functional training with exercise counselling meaningfully improves physical performance and successfully prepares patients for sustainable home exercise.
