Effectiveness of rehabilitation in hospitalized hemodialysis patients as compared with rehabilitation in hospitalized patients not on hemodialysis: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in Journal of nephrology, 2025. 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
backgroundThe effectiveness of rehabilitation aimed at improving the activities of daily living and physical functions may differ between hospitalized patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) and not undergoing HD (non-HD). The aim of the present study was to compare the outcomes of rehabilitation between hospitalized HD and non-HD patients.
methodsThis was a retrospective cohort study of inpatients who underwent rehabilitation. We measured the rehabilitation time (min/day), length of hospital stay (days), and the Barthel index (BI). In addition, at the time of admission and discharge, grip strength, isometric knee extension strength, 10 m walking speed, timed up and go test, and short physical performance battery were examined. The outcomes were then compared between the HD and non-HD groups.
resultsThis study was made up of 902 patients (non-HD group: 765, HD group: 137). Our analysis revealed a lower rehabilitation time [43.3 (0.6) vs. 38.8 (1.2) min/day] and longer hospital stay [48.5 (0.5) vs. 58.1 (2.3) days] in the HD group as compared with the non-HD group (p < 0.05). In addition, the 10 m walking speed [0.75 (0.02) vs. 0.66 (0.03) m/s], timed up and go test [20.8 (0.7) vs. 24.3 (1.0) sec], and short physical performance battery [6.3 (0.6) vs. 4.7 (0.6) points] at discharge were also significantly lower in the HD group as compared with the non-HD group (p < 0.05).
conclusionRehabilitation efforts for HD patients need to be improved by securing more time for inpatient rehabilitation and promoting mobility function improvement for these patients.
