Therapeutic Effects of Intradialytic Exercise on Life Quality of Patients with End-Stage Renal Disease: Study Protocol for a Randomized Control Trial.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. 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
backgroundExercise training has positive effects on physical functions and could reduce a sedentary lifestyle for hemodialysis (HD) patients. Given that low-level physical activity increases morbidity and mortality, here, we aimed to determine the effects of an intradialytic exercise program delivered at different frequencies on HD patients in Taiwan.
methodsThis study is a prospective, randomized control trial. An intradialytic exercise program will be arranged for patients after receiving their informed consent. Patients will be segregated at random into three groups as follows: (a) three times/week of intradialytic exercise training plus standard care maintenance of HD, (b) two times/week of intradialytic exercise training plus standard care maintenance of HD, or (c) standard care maintenance of HD. Subjects will be followed for 24 weeks. At three time points, 0, 12, and 24 weeks, the primary outcome, the Short-Form 36 score, will be measured. Additional secondary outcomes to be measured are the Beck depression inventory, 6 min walking test, sit-to-stand test, and anthropometric measures such as the body mass index, thigh circumference, and the proportion of fat in the body composition.
conclusionsThere is emerging evidence in support of intradialytic exercise improving health-related quality of life for patients on HD. However, the difference in the therapeutic effects between three times per week and twice per week has never been determined. With this study, we anticipate to fill the knowledge gap in the exercise prescription among HD patients.
