Effect of a transfer- and ambulation-focused early mobilization protocol on functional capacity after kidney transplantation: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in BMC nephrology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundEarly mobilization is recommended to improve postoperative recovery, yet implementation after kidney transplantation is often delayed or limited.
objectivesTo determine whether a transfer- and ambulation-focused early mobilization protocol improves early postoperative exercise capacity and mobilization in kidney transplant recipients(KTRs), and to evaluate its safety and feasibility.
methodsSingle-center, randomized, parallel-group controlled trial conducted at West China Hospital, Sichuan University (Chengdu, China). Fifty-four adults undergoing kidney transplantation were randomized 1:1 postoperatively to usual care (control group) or usual care plus an early transfer- and ambulation-focused mobilization protocol (early mobilization group, EMG). The primary outcome was the 6-minute walk distance (6-MWD) on postoperative day(POD) 7; secondary outcomes included 6-MWD change from baseline, grip strength, grip strength change from baseline, laboratory indices, prespecified safety and feasibility endpoints, postoperative complications, and hospital length of stay.
resultsBaseline characteristics were comparable between groups. Compared with CG, EMG achieved shorter bed rest time, better 6-MWD (with a smaller postoperative decline from baseline where available), and lower white blood cell (WBC) count on POD7 (all p < 0.05). No participant in EMG was graded as "unable to complete" the mobilization protocol, and no protocol-related adverse events were observed.
conclusionsA transfer- and ambulation-focused early mobilization protocol improved early postoperative functional capacity and mobilization in KTRs and appeared safe and feasible.
