A randomized, controlled, 12-month trial on the effects of an interdisciplinary treatment approach in ESRD patients: study protocol of the smart and fit for kidney transplantation trial (S&F4KTx).
Article in Trials, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06040281 (The Effects of an Interdisciplinary Treatment Approach in ESRD Patients), which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.

Abstract
backgroundA prolonged waiting time for a kidney transplant leads to a significant decline in the general health status of many patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This deterioration may cause these patients to be classified as unsuitable for transplantation during the waiting period owing to frailty, poor body composition, or the development of new comorbidities. Studies have shown that physical exercise and tailored nutrition can maintain and improve physical performance and overall health status.
methodsThis study is a 1:1 controlled, randomized trial. The control group will receive standard care along with an app designed for dialysis patients, which provides information on topics such as nutrition, vital signs, blood parameters, and details about their condition. In addition, the intervention group will receive individualized nutritional and exercise recommendations, along with a 3-week inpatient rehabilitation program. At 0, 6, and 12 months, body composition (body mass index, skeletal muscle mass, body fat mass, and waist circumference) and physical performance (6-min walk test, timed up and go test, sit-to-stand test, one-legged stance test, stair climbing test, and frailty), blood values (e.g., potassium and phosphate), and quality of life (KDQOL) will be evaluated. Bone density (tibia and radius) will be measured at 0 and 12 months. DISCUSSION: Studies have demonstrated that physical activity and tailored nutrition have positive effects on the general health of dialysis patients. However, pretransplantation preparation programs (prehabilitation) aimed at preserving transplant eligibility have not yet been evaluated. This study aims to address this gap by investigating a potential care program for patients on the transplant waiting list.
