Comparison of muscle strength between hemodialysis patients and non-dialysis patients with chronic kidney disease.
Article in Journal of physical therapy science, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
[Purpose] Muscle weakness in patients with chronic kidney disease is associated with several disease-related factors, and this study aimed to examine whether hemodialysis is one of risk factors for muscle weakness in patients with chronic kidney disease. [Participants and Methods] We conducted a cross-sectional study with 74 non-dialysis and 84 hemodialysis patients. Muscle strength evaluations were performed by measuring isometric knee extensor muscle strength and grip strength. Each evaluation item was compared between the hemodialysis and non-dialysis groups, and multiple regression analysis was performed to determine the factors associated with muscle strength. In addition, the correlation between lower-extremity muscle strength and grip strength was examined in each group. [Results] Isometric knee extensor muscle strength was significantly lower in the hemodialysis group than in the non-dialysis group. Grip strength was also significantly lower in the hemodialysis group than in the non-dialysis group. Hemodialysis was determined to be an independent risk factor associated with lower limb muscle strength as well as grip strength. The positive correlation between isometric knee extensor muscle strength and grip strength was almost the same in the groups. [Conclusion] Hemodialysis treatment was an independent risk factor for muscle weakness. Regular monitoring of grip strength may facilitate better management with physical therapy in hemodialysis patients.
