1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Overhydration and sarcopenia, related to an individual's nutritional status, have been associated with increased cardiovascular mortality and poor prognosis in patients on hemodialysis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prediction of overhydration and sarcopenia on mortality in patients on hemodialysis using a body composition monitor. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis using a random-effects model. We searched the Cochrane Central Register, OVID MEDLINE, EMBASE and PubMed databases for all studies published prior to December 9, 2016 and reviewed the reference lists of relevant reviews, registered trials and relevant conference proceedings. The overhydration group (fluid excess, >15% vs. the normohydration group) and the low lean tissue index group ( <10%) were compared with a reference group. Six trials, consisting of 29,469 patients, were included in the pooled analysis. The pooled hazard ratio for overall survival of the overhydration group, compared with the reference normohydration group was 1.798 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.53-2.804, p = .001). The hazard ratio for mortality in the low lean tissue index group was 1.533 (95% CI, 1.411-1.644; p = .001) in the random-effects model. The results from the most recent study showed the greatest heterogeneity in the sensitivity analysis. Low lean tissue index and overhydration, measured using a body composition monitor, were associated with a high mortality rate in patients on hemodialysis.
