Application of bioimpedance spectroscopy in Asian dialysis patients (ABISAD-III): a randomized controlled trial for clinical outcomes.
Trial report in International urology and nephrology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06573567 (Target Weight Guided by Bioimpedance Analysis in Hemodialysis Patients), which is not on this map. Cited by 26 papers, 5 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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.

Abstract
purposeFluid management with body composition monitor based on bioimpedance spectroscopy (BCM-BIS) has been found to be beneficial for dialysis patients. We conducted a study to provide an algorithm for the determination of post-dialysis target weight (PDTW) and to evaluate whether this approach could improve clinical outcomes compared to patients who had PDTW decided clinically.
methodsTwo hundred and ninety-eight dialysis patients participated in this 1-year randomized controlled trial. The outcomes were all-cause hospitalization rate, AFO or CV-related events, hypertension and intra-dialysis morbidities.
results80 % of post-dialysis weight reached the target set with current algorithm. All-cause hospitalization rate was not different. Incidence of acute fluid overload (AFO) or CV-related events was lower in study group. Longitudinal data showed decreased incidence of hypertension, intra-dialysis morbidities and intra-dialysis hypotension.
conclusionsAssessment of PDTW by BCM-BIS with an explicit algorithm decreased AFO or CV-related events, hypertension and intra-dialysis morbidities. Further studies were required to demonstrate possible benefits of hospitalization rate.
