Physical function, physical activity, muscle strength, and body composition: Clinical practice recommendations in pediatric intestinal failure and transplantation-position statement of the International Intestinal Rehabilitation and Transplant Association Allied Health Committee.
Article in Intestinal Failure (New York, N.Y.). 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
Background: Pediatric survival rates in intestinal failure (IF) and transplant (ITx) have improved over time. However, surgery and prolonged hospitalization can impact motor function and levels of physical activity (PA), which is an essential health behaviour for physical, social, and mental health. This position paper provides clinical recommendations to optimize PA, strength, and exercise in children with IF and ITx. Methods: A working group of the IIRTA Allied Health committee conducted a literature review, identifying relevant articles between 2000 and 2023. Key recommendations were based on scientific evidence and expert-informed opinion. Results: Research indicates children with IF have altered body composition and lower physical function, PA, and muscle strength compared to healthy peers. They also have a higher prevalence of motor delays and an increased risk of sarcopenia pre-and post-ITx. Although exercise can potentially improve these outcomes, parents report unique barriers to PA including central lines and medical appliances. Key recommendations include:1) Early intervention with rehabilitation specialists in hospital and on discharge to the community.2) Education related to PA guidelines including aerobic intensity and strengthening activities.3) Provision of individualized exercise plans with communication and support in school/community settings.4) Ongoing screening at out-patient visits to monitor body composition, strength, and PA and address potential barriers and safety issues.5) Prioritizing multi-center research on PA benefits and effective interventions. Conclusions: This position paper offers actionable steps to optimize physical function, PA, and exercise, and highlights the need for research on exercise efficacy, safety, and intervention in this population.
