Meta-analysis of the effects of exercise interventions on dialysis patients with cardiac function disorders.
Synthesis in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Prolonged dialysis can lead patients to multiple complications, with heart failure being the most dangerous and the leading cause of death among dialysis patients. Concurrently, exercise has been shown to improve several indicators of heart function. Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted across seven databases. The search was limited to studies published between January 2010 and July 2024. Results: (1) Compared to conventional care, exercise significantly increased the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in dialysis patients (MD = 2.00, 95% CI: 1.15-2.84, Conclusion: Exercise can significantly enhance LVEF and decrease LVMI in dialysis patients. However, no significant improvements were observed in PWV, LVESV, or LVEDV. The subgroup analysis indicated that a combination of aerobic and resistance exercise had a better effect on improving LVEF compared to aerobic exercise, and exercise intervention with each workout lasting for more than 30 min, an exercise intervention cycle of 10 to 12 weeks, and an exercise frequency of more than three times per week were more effective in improving LVEF.
