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

backgroundThis study aims to determine the therapeutic efficacy of exercise interventions for patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) on fatigue and health-related quality of life (HRQoL).

methodsThis review will only include randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The search strategy will be performed in 4 English databases, 4 Chinese databases, Clinical Trials.gov, and the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry. All English or Chinese RCTs, published from inception to May 31, 2020, will be sought. Two reviewers will screen, select studies, extract data, and assess quality independently. Primary outcome is fatigue assessed by questionnaire. The methodological quality including the risk of bias of the included studies will be evaluated using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database scale. Stata 12.0 software will be used for heterogeneity assessment, generating funnel-plots, data synthesis, subgroup analysis, and sensitivity analysis.

resultsWe will provide some more practical and targeted results investigating the effect of exercise interventions for patients undergoing HD on fatigue and HRQoL in the current meta-analysis, and point out the main limitation of previous studies.

conclusionThe study will provide recent evidence for evaluating the therapeutic efficacy of exercise interventions for patients undergoing HD on fatigue and HRQoL. REGISTRATION NUMBER: INPLASY202050071 (DOI: 10.37766/inplasy2020.5.0071).
