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.

Abstract

Introduction: This study aimed to examine the effects of intradialytic exercise (IDE) on improving activities of daily living (ADL) and physical function in hospitalized hemodialysis (HD) patients. The research question focused on improving outcomes in ADL and physical function. Methods: This study is a single-center, historical cohort study. Subjects were hospitalized HD patients undergoing rehabilitation between April 2017 and February 2023. Patients were divided into two groups: the IDE group, which received IDE, and the non-IDE group, which did not. The outcomes measured were Barthel Index (BI), grip strength, isometric knee extension strength (IKES), 10-meter walking speed (10MWS), and Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB). Outcome measures were taken at admission and discharge, and changes were analyzed using a linear mixed model. Results: The study included 76 participants (IDE group: 13, non-IDE group: 63). The IDE group showed significant improvements in ΔBI (13.7 [0.96-26.38] points) and Δ10MWS (0.25 [0.05-0.45] m/sec) (p < 0.05). No significant differences were observed between the two groups in ΔGrip strength (2.10 [-0.40 to 4.60] kg), ΔIKES (7.40 [-2.20 to 17.02] %), or ΔSPPB (1.23 [-0.48 to 2.94] points) (p > 0.05). However, the IDE group showed significant pre-post improvements in grip strength (1.55 [1.46-1.65] kg) and SPPB (2.44 [1.34-3.55] points) (p < 0.05). Conclusions: IDE contributed to greater improvements in BI and 10MWS in HD patients. These findings suggest that adding IDE to inpatient rehabilitation may enhance functional recovery in this population.
