The Effects of Intradialytic Exercise on Key Indices of Sarcopenia in Patients With End-stage Renal Disease: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials.
Review in Archives of rehabilitation research and clinical translation, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 6 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.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effects of intradialytic exercise (IDE) (exercise performed during dialysis) on sarcopenia and quality of life (QoL) in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Data Sources: A comprehensive search of 7 electronic databases was performed to identify randomized controlled trials measuring the effects of IDE in adults with ESRD. Searches were limited to the English language. Study Selection: Included studies were randomized controlled trials that measured the effects of IDE in adults with ESRD. Comparator groups received usual care or low-intensity sham interventions. Outcomes of interest were muscle mass, strength, physical function, and QoL. Papers were independently screened for eligibility by 2 authors, and any discrepancies resolved by a third author. Data Extraction: One author extracted the data from the included studies. Data were compared and discussed across the team members. Two authors independently assessed risk of bias using the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 tool. Quality was assessed using the van Tulder scale and a narrative synthesis was conducted. Best evidence synthesis was used to structure the reviews findings. Data Synthesis: Fourteen studies were included in this review (n=837). While risk of bias was found high in 11 studies, demonstrating mainly selection, performance, and detection bias, the best evidence synthesis indicated strong evidence of resistance training improving muscle mass (16%-4.2%) and strength (45%-18%), and moderate evidence of combined exercise improving strength (37%), and various physical function scores. Conclusions: Overall, there is strong evidence of resistance exercise, with moderate evidence of combined exercise, improving sarcopenia-related muscle and strength loss, and QoL in end-stage kidney disease. Adequately powered, good quality studies are required to determine the optimal exercise prescription to maximize outcomes.
