Associations of age and body mass index with hydration and density of fat-free mass from 4 to 22 years.
Article in European journal of clinical nutrition, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
backgroundMost body composition techniques assume constant properties of fat free mass (FFM) (hydration and density) regardless of nutritional status, which may lead to biased values.
aimTo evaluate the interactive associations of age and body mass index (BMI) with hydration and density of FFM.
methodsData from subjects aged between 4 and 22 years old from several studies conducted in London, UK were assessed. Hydration (H
resultsNearly 30% of the variability in H
conclusionNutritional status should be considered when assessing body composition using two-component methods, and reference data for H
