Comparison of the effectiveness of different home-based exercise programs in donors after liver transplantation: a randomized controlled trial.
Article in Clinics (Sao Paulo, Brazil), 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
backgroundThe home exercise programme is a treatment method that ensures the continuity of rehabilitation after discharge. Although it is known that home exercise programmes improve recovery in patients compared to those who do not exercise at all in different diseases, it is not known which home exercise programme is more effective in donors after organ transplantation.
methodsA total of 117 donors were included in the study. The participants were randomly divided into three groups: control, home exercise, and video-based exercise groups. While no intervention was made to the control group, the individuals in the other groups were asked to perform the exercises twice a week for 8-weeks, for a total of 16 sessions. The evaluations were performed twice in the hospital environment, before and after the exercise.
resultsThe initial test results showed that the data for the groups were similar. In all measurements, a significant difference occurred between the first and second test scores in all three groups (p < 0.05). When comparing the changes in the groups, the brochure-based home exercise group showed a greater increase in the 6-minute walk test score compared to the control group, while the improvement rates in the video-based exercise group were superior to the other two groups in all data except for the non-dominant quadriceps femoris muscle strength (p < 0.05).
conclusionHome exercise enhances recovery in donor rehabilitation after liver transplantation. When different home-based exercise programs were compared, the video-based exercise program was more effective than the standard brochure-based exercise program.
