Comparative efficacy of nine exercise methods on the prognosis in chronic kidney disease patients with hemodialysis: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.
Synthesis in European journal of medical research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 5 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
backgroundSeveral kinds of physical activities have been applied to improve the prognosis of patients with hemodialysis (HD). However, the comparative efficacy of physical activities on the outcomes in HD patients is still unknown. This study explored the effectiveness and safety of all exercise types in HD patients.
methodsWe searched randomized clinical trials from the PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases. Physical exercises interventions included resistance exercise (RE), aerobic exercise (AE), electrical muscle stimulation (EMS), range of motion (ROM), resistance exercise + aerobic exercise (RE + AE), stretching exercise (STE), respiratory muscle training (RMT), peripheral muscle training (PMT), walking exercise (WE), or usual care/sham exercise (UC/SE). Primary outcomes were six-minute walk test (6-mwt) and quality of life (QOL). Secondary outcomes were Kt/V, VO
resultsA total of 58 eligible studies were included. AE, RMT, and RE + AE significantly improved 6-mwt compared with UC/SE. SE was the worst intervention and reduced QOL much more than the UC/SE and other exercise types. AE and RE + AE were associated with higher VO
conclusionPhysical activities play a crucial role in the different outcomes of HD patients. They can be applied to specific area for their specific efficacy.
