Telerehabilitation exercise program in pediatric patients after kidney transplantation: a randomized clinical trial.

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
backgroundAlthough kidney transplantation (KT) improves kidney function, children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) often show incomplete recovery of physical function. Physical activity is recommended, and telerehabilitation may enhance adherence. This study evaluated the effects of a telerehabilitation exercise program on functional capacity in pediatric KT recipients. Secondary outcomes included peripheral muscle strength, quality of life (QoL), laboratory measures, and program safety.
methodsThis single-blind randomized clinical trial included two groups: intervention (IG) and control (CG). Functional capacity (Modified Shuttle Walk Test - MSWT), handgrip strength, and laboratory measures were assessed before and after the intervention. Both groups participated in remote sessions twice weekly for six weeks. The IG performed age-appropriate physical exercises, while the CG completed simple ventilatory exercises and a structured interview.
results51 patients were randomized (IG = 25; CG = 26). There were no significant differences in baseline characteristics between groups. The IG showed a 90.6-m increase in MSWT distance, while the CG improved by only 0.8 m. Both groups demonstrated gains in peripheral muscle strength, with greater improvements in the IG. Laboratory measures showed no significant changes. The program was feasible and safe.
conclusionSignificant improvements in functional capacity were observed in pediatric KT patients. Although no statistically significant differences were observed in peripheral muscle strength or QoL between groups, both improved, especially in the IG. Laboratory parameters remained unchanged. The intervention was safe and demonstrated good adherence, highlighting its potential for post-transplant rehabilitation.
