Factors associated with postoperative physiological and psychological changes and rehabilitation exercise adherence in pediatric kidney transplant recipients.

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
Introduction: Postoperative rehabilitation exercise adherence is critical for recovery after pediatric kidney transplantation, yet its associated psychosocial factors remain insufficiently characterized. This study aimed to examine postoperative psychological status and rehabilitation exercise adherence in pediatric kidney transplant recipients, identify distinct adherence patterns, and determine associated influencing factors to inform targeted intervention strategies. Methods: A longitudinal study was conducted among 158 pediatric kidney transplant recipients (101 boys and 57 girls; mean age, 11.91 years; SD, 3.70) who underwent kidney transplantation between May 2008 and May 2024. Data were collected at 1, 2, 4, and 6 months postoperatively using the Rehabilitation Training Adherence Scale, the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 Transplant Module, and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. Latent class growth modeling and growth mixture modeling were used to identify adherence patterns. Group differences were examined using χ² tests and analyses of variance, and associated predictors were identified using multivariate logistic regression analyses. Results: Three distinct rehabilitation exercise adherence patterns were identified: a high adherence improvement-maintenance pattern (41.8%), a Moderate adherence with early improvement and slight decline pattern (29.7%), and a low adherence-stable pattern (28.5%). These patterns demonstrated substantial heterogeneity in postoperative rehabilitation exercise adherence among pediatric kidney transplant recipients. Discussion: Rehabilitation exercise adherence after pediatric kidney transplantation follows distinct longitudinal patterns and is influenced by clinical, demographic, and psychosocial factors. Early identification of recipients at risk of persistently poor adherence may facilitate targeted interventions to improve rehabilitation participation, quality of life, and psychological well-being, thereby promoting better postoperative recovery in this vulnerable population.
