Changes in body composition following haemodialysis as assessed by bioimpedance spectroscopy.
Article in European journal of clinical nutrition, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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/
objectivesPatients with chronic kidney disease treated by haemodialysis (HD) are at increased risk of sarcopenia. Bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy (BIS) can be used to determine body composition, and is one of the several potential screening tools for sarcopenia. The newer generation of portable hand-held devices can be readily used in dialysis centres. The results from BIS devices using a two-compartmental model of body composition can be affected by hydration status and so ideally measurements should be made when patients are not overhydrated. More recently BIS devices using a three-compartmental body model, which separate normally hydrated lean tissues from extracellular water (ECW) excess. We wished to determine whether body composition measured using such a BIS device was affected by hydration status. SUBJECTS/
methodsWe performed BISs pre and post HD using a three-body compartmental model.
resultsBISs were recorded in 48 patients; 68.8% male; mean age 67.70±14.21 years, weight pre dialysis 70.54±18.07, which fell post to 68.58±17.78 kg, ECW fell 16.92±4.76 vs 15.66±4.43 l, P<0.001, whereas there was no change for intracellular water 14.84±4.27 vs 14.90±4.68 l. Fat-free mass index (FFMI) fell 17.87±3.98 vs 16.78±3.97 kg/m
conclusionFMI and FFMI measured by bioelectrical impedance assessment are both confounded by hydration status. Although pre-dialysis measurements are more convenient, we suggest BIS should preferably be performed post-dialysis when patients are less overhydrated and have less electrolyte imbalances.
