Comparative assessment of change in fat mass using dual X-ray absorptiometry and air-displacement plethysmography.
Article in Clinical obesity, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
objectiveTo compare the accuracy of body composition measurements to small, defined changes in fat mass between dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and air-displacement plethysmography (ADP).
methodsFifty-six healthy adults, 29 women and 27 men (age, 38 ± 12.4 years; BMI, 27.6 ± 5.8 kg/m
resultsBoth DXA and ADP were highly accurate in detecting an overall increase in body mass associated with exogenously applied 1kg of fat mass (0.99 kg vs. 0.97 kg, respectively). DXA more accurately detected exogenous fat increase as fat mass compared to ADP (0.93 kg; 90% CI for the mean of the difference: 0.83 to 1.03 kg vs. 0.45 kg; 90% CI: 0.19 to 0.71 kg, respectively). The accuracy of body mass detection was similar for males and females (0.97 vs. 1.02 for DXA and 0.92 vs. 1.02 for ADP, respectively), though accuracy in detecting added mass as fat was less accurate in males than females (0.84 vs. 1.00 for DXA and 0.39 vs. 0.51 for ADP, respectively). DISCUSSION: Both DXA and ADP are accurate in detecting an overall increase in body mass associated with exogenously applied 1kg of fat mass. However, DXA is more accurate than ADP in correctly identifying the increase in body mass as fat mass, as opposed to fat free mass.
