Effectiveness of progressive moderate-vigorous intensity elastic resistance training on quality of life and perceived functional abilities in people with hemophilia: Secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in European journal of haematology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
INTRODUCTION AND
aimStrength exercise training is advised for people with hemophilia (PWH); however, few studies have been published and have methodological limitations. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of progressive elastic resistance training on quality of life and perceived functional abilities in PWH.
methodsParticipants were randomly allocated to the intervention (n = 10) or control (n = 10) group. The intervention group performed progressive moderate-vigorous elastic resistance training (2 days/week, a total of 8 weeks), focusing on the muscles of the knee, elbow, and ankle joints. The control group continued its usual daily activities for 8 weeks. Quality of life (A36 Hemofilia-QoL®) and perceived functional abilities (Haemophilia Activities List) were assessed at baseline and an 8-week follow-up.
resultsThe intervention group improved the quality-of-life dimension of joint damage perception in comparison to the control group (p = .015, large effect size). Regarding perceived functional abilities, the intervention group improved lying, sitting, kneeling, and standing (p = .006, small effect size), and complex lower extremities activities (i.e., walking short and long-distance, and up-down stairs) (p = .006, small effect size) compared to the control group. No other significant differences were observed.
conclusionsEight weeks of progressive moderate-vigorous elastic resistance training in PWH improve the quality-of-life dimension of joint damage perception and perceived functional abilities (lying/sitting/kneeling/standing, and complex lower extremities activities). Our results suggest a limited effect of the program on the other items of quality of life measured by the questionnaire as emotional functioning, mental health, and social relationships. Importantly, no serious adverse effects occurred.
