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

purpose of reviewLow physical function (PF) is common among individuals with end-stage kidney disease. In this review, we explore data on the impacts of PF on access to kidney transplantation (KT) and KT outcomes. We also discuss the latest interventions to improve PF in pre- and post-KT settings. RECENT

findingsMany US KT programs measure PF or related constructs when assessing KT candidacy. Although carefully selected KT candidates with low PF can benefit from KT with respect to survival and quality of life, low PF decreases the likelihood of being listed for KT and increases the risk of adverse post-KT outcomes. Recent trials suggest that exercise is a promising strategy to improve PF among KT candidates and recipients. SUMMARY: PF is a potentially modifiable risk factor for adverse pre- and post-KT outcomes. Research is needed to determine the ideal PF metric for use in KT evaluations and interventions to improve PF.
