Effectiveness of a BCW theory-based exercise adherence intervention protocol in Chinese maintenance hemodialysis patients: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Objective: To develop and implement a theory-based exercise adherence intervention grounded in the behavior change wheel (BCW) framework, with the goal of improving exercise adherence among maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients, enhancing clinical outcomes, and maximizing the benefits of physical activity. Methods: This study included two phases. In Phase I (Development), we used the BCW framework to develop the intervention. This process involved semi-structured patient interviews and evidence synthesis, followed by refinement with an expert panel. In Phase II (Evaluation), we performed an assessor-blinded randomized controlled trial (RCT). We randomly assigned 80 MHD patients (1:1) to either the intervention or control group. A computer-generated sequence determined allocation, which was concealed with opaque, sealed envelopes. The intervention group received the BCW-based exercise protocol via mobile health (mHealth) technology, and the control group received standard nursing care. Throughout the trial, outcome assessors and data analysts remained blinded to group assignment. Results: Following the 12-week intervention, the intervention group demonstrated significantly greater exercise adherence scores compared to controls ( Conclusion: The study findings demonstrate the efficacy of a BCW-based exercise adherence intervention program in enhancing exercise adherence, physical functioning, dialysis adequacy, nutritional status, and glucose-lipid metabolism among MHD patients.
