Changes in Physical Activity Among Spanish Kidney Transplant Recipients: A 12-Month Longitudinal Study.
Article in Journal of renal care, 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
backgroundPhysical activity is crucial for improving cardiovascular risk and overall health in kidney transplant recipients. However, changes in physical activity before and after transplantation remain underexplored.
objectiveTo assess energy expenditure and physical activity before and after kidney transplantation over 1 year, analysing their relationship with cardiovascular risk factors.
designDescriptive, longitudinal, prospective study.
participantsA total of 112 individuals who had received a kidney transplant (aged ≥ 18 years) at a single transplant centre. MEASUREMENTS: Sociodemographic and clinical data were extracted from medical records. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire was administered at baseline and at 3, 6 and 12 months after transplantation to evaluate physical activity (as metabolic equivalent minutes per week). Laboratory parameters were also collected. ANALYSIS: Descriptive statistics summarised participant characteristics. Inferential analyses (chi-square, t-tests, ANOVA, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis) examined associations between physical activity and clinical variables (significance p < 0.05).
resultsParticipants had a median age of 58 years; 70.5% were men. Overall physical activity declined at 3 months, rebounded at 6, and decreased again at 12 months, remaining below the levels observed before transplantation. Men, participants not requiring dialysis before transplantation, individuals with overweight, and individuals with a history of cerebrovascular disease exhibited higher physical activity throughout follow-up. Physical activity correlated with certain laboratory parameters, suggesting that better clinical status may foster greater physical activity engagement.
conclusionTailored physical activity targeting comorbidities and nutritional status are recommended to improve long-term outcomes in kidney transplant recipients, particularly among women, older adults, and those with multiple comorbidities.
