Hand dexterity, daily functioning and health-related quality of life in kidney transplant recipients.
Article in Scientific reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Impaired interplay between sensory and motor function may be an important, often overlooked cause of the decreased daily functioning and impaired health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of kidney transplant recipients (KTR). We assessed this interplay using a hand dexterity test, and investigated its potential associations with daily functioning and HRQoL among KTR enrolled at the TransplantLines Biobank and Cohort Study. A total of 309 KTR (58% male, mean age 56 ± 13 years) at median 4 [IQR: 1-11] years after transplantation were included. Impaired hand dexterity, as defined by a test performance slower than the 95th percentile of an age- and sex-specific reference population, was observed in 71 (23%) KTR. Worse hand dexterity was independently associated with worse performance on almost all measures of physical capacity, activities of daily living and societal participation. Finally, hand dexterity was independently associated with physical HRQoL (standardized beta - 0.22, 95%CI - 0.34 to - 0.09, P < 0.001). In conclusion, impaired interplay between sensory and motor function, as assessed by hand dexterity, is prevalent among KTR. In addition, poor hand dexterity was associated with impaired daily functioning and limited physical HRQoL. Impaired interplay between sensory and motor function may be therefore an important, hitherto overlooked, phenomenon in KTR.
