Estimation of lean body mass by creatinine kinetics increases the prevalence of muscle wasting in peritoneal dialysis patients compared to bioimpedance.
Article in European journal of clinical nutrition, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Dialysis patients are at increased risk for muscle wasting, and time efficient screening tests are required for to allow for early detection. Creatinine kinetics have been advocated to estimate lean body mass (LBM) in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, and can be readily calculated in clinical practice from peritoneal dialysate effluent and urine collections. Bioimpedance is increasingly available, and we compared methods in 434 PD patients (55% men, 33.3% diabetics), mean age 55.2 ± 16.2 years. LBM was lower by creatinine kinetics (47.8 ± 16.6 kg men, 37.8 ± 11.2 kg women) vs. bioimpedance (53.2 ± 11.5 kg men, 39.2 ± 7.2 kg women), p < 0.01. The prevalence of muscle wasting was much greater using creatinine kinetics (72.4% men, 52.4% women) vs. bioimpedance (55.2% men, 37.3%), p < 0.05. Estimates of LBM were much lower using creatinine kinetics compared to bioimpedance. Studies reporting the prevalence of muscle loss in PD patients will differ depending upon the method used to estimate muscle mass.
