1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Exercise benefits patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) by addressing complications and dysfunctions. Elastic band exercise is cost-effective, but its safety, efficacy, and feasibility during dialysis are not well-established. The aim of this study is to investigate the physical and mental effects of intradialytic elastic band exercise in patients on MHD. Sixty patients on MHD were randomly assigned to the exercise or control group (30 patients/group). The control group received routine hemodialysis care, whereas those in the exercise group performed intradialytic elastic band exercises for 0.5-2 h during hemodialysis three times a week for 12 weeks. Physical function (Short Physical Performance Battery [SPPB]), cognitive function (Montreal Cognitive Assessment [MoCA]), fatigue (14-item Fatigue Scale [FS-14]), sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index [PSQI]), and anxiety and depression (Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale [HAMA]/Hamilton Depression Rating Scale [HAMD]) were assessed. The exercise group showed significant improvements in SPPB (
