Does peritoneal dialysate affect body composition assessments using multi-frequency bioimpedance in peritoneal dialysis patients?
Trial report in European journal of clinical nutrition, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 papers.
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/
objectivesMulti-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (MFBIA) is increasingly being used to assess peritoneal dialysis patients. Protein energy wasting (PEW) is a recognised complication of peritoneal dialysis. Although MFBIA can be used to assess body composition, measurements can be affected by fluid overload, and we wished to determine whether the presence of peritoneal dialysate in the peritoneal cavity equally could affect MFBIA-derived body composition assessments. SUBJECTS/
methodsFifty consecutive adult patients had MFBIA made with 2l 22.7 g/l dextrose dialysate instilled into the peritoneal cavity and then after draining out.
resultsWhen full, extracellular water (ECW) and the ratio of ECW to total body water (TBW) were greater compared with when empty: 13.9 ± 3.0l versus 13.4 ± 3.0, and 0.393 ± 0.01 versus 0.391 ± 0.01, P<0.001, respectively. Segmental ECW/TBW was only different for the trunk, 0.395 ± 0.01 full versus 0.392 ± 0.01 empty, P<0.0001. Body composition changed with a fall in skeletal muscle mass from 26.1 ± 6.3 to 25.2 ± 6.1 kg, P<0.001, and a smaller reduction in body fat from 19.3 ± 8.4 to 19.1 ± 8.0 kg, P=0.0104.
conclusionMFBIA measurements made in peritoneal dialysis patients with peritoneal dialysate instilled can overestimate body composition, including muscle mass, and as such potentially delay the recognition of PEW. Thus, for more accurate MFBIA in peritoneal dialysis patients, the dialysate should be drained out.
