The relationship between exercise and the occurrence of abdominal wall complications in patients on peritoneal dialysis.
Observational study in BMC nephrology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundThe relationship between exercise and abdominal wall complications remains controversial in the general population and has rarely been studied in patients with peritoneal dialysis (PD). This study aims to investigate the association between exercise and abdominal wall complications in the PD population.
methodsA retrospective data analysis of a prospective cohort. Abdominal wall complications were recorded during follow-up. Exercise characteristics were collected monthly by outpatient questionnaire, including whether the patient exercised, type of exercise, exercise duration, and exercise intensity. Competing risk models were used to evaluate the predictive power of exercise variables for the occurrence of abdominal wall complications.
resultsAmong the 475 patients undergoing PD, 33 (6.9%) developed abdominal wall complications during a median follow-up of 46.0 months. A total of 377 (79.4%) patients engaged in regular exercise, with walking (99.5%) being the predominant form. Only 2 (0.5%) patients combined aerobic and resistance exercise. The median exercise duration was 210.0 min per week (interquartile range: 140.0-350.0 min). No exercise characteristics, including exercise participation, exercise duration per week, or exercise intensity, were found to be associated with abdominal wall complications in either univariate or multivariate competing risk analyses. Similarly, exercise variables showed no significant prognostic value in any subgroup analyses.
conclusionsThis study demonstrates for the first time that exercise, primarily in the form of aerobic activity at typical duration and intensity levels, does not increase the risk of abdominal wall complications in PD patients. Further research is needed to explore the effects of high-intensity aerobic exercise and resistance training in the PD population.
trial registrationThis study did not involve any interventions, and all the data were obtained from the PDTAP database (Registration number: NCT03571451; Registration date: 2018-06-20). We adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.
