Summary of Findings	From a letter raising concerns in the conduct of a systematic review of the efficacy of exercise training on functional capacity and quality of life in patients with chronic kidney disease published in 2022. The systematic review used a very specific search term to represent the patient population which may have resulted in missing some relevant studies highlighted as potentially relevant by the letter authors. Furthermore, the authors highlight that there was no description of statistical analysis in the Methods section and that there were zero studies in the meta-analysis but studies are pooled.
