Exercise prescriptions for patients on hemodialysis in Brazil: a scoping review.
Article in Jornal brasileiro de nefrologia. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionExercise is being incorporated into the treatment of patients on hemodialysis; however, little is known about the major characteristics of these interventions.
objectiveTo describe the exercise protocols prescribed for hemodialysis patients in Brazil.
methodsA scoping review was conducted following JBI and Prisma-ScR guidelines. Searches were carried out in Medline, Embase and three other databases until May 2024. Other sources (websites, books and guidelines) were also investigated. Evidence from patients on hemodialysis describing exercise protocols in all settings and designs in Brazil was included.
resultsForty-five pieces of evidence were found, resulting in 54 exercise protocols from 16 Brazilian states. Strength exercises (33.3%), followed by aerobic exercises (22.2%), were the most prescribed, mainly to be performed during dialysis (85.2%). The most prevalent professionals supervising the programs were physiotherapists and exercise physiologists (37.0% and 18.5%, respectively). All protocols implemented the principles of type and frequency training, while progression was adopted in only 53.7%. The main prescription was three times per week (88.9%). Exercise intensity was predominantly determined by subjective methods (33.3%).
conclusionAerobic and strength exercises during dialysis were the most commonly prescribed modalities in Brazil, with the majority of programs being properly supervised by qualified professionals. However, existing protocols have not employed systematic progression throughout the intervention, which would be appropriate for providing better physiological responses and adaptations.
