Segmental Bioelectrical Impedance Spectroscopy to Monitor Fluid Status in Heart Failure.
Trial report in Scientific reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy (BIS) measures body composition, including fluid status. Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is associated with fluid overload in different body compartments. This investigation aimed to evaluate the feasibility of measuring and monitoring fluid accumulation in patients with ADHF using BIS. The extracellular impedance as a surrogate marker for fluid accumulation was measured in 67 participants (25 healthy reference volunteers and 42 patients admitted with ADHF) using BIS in the "transthoracic", "foot-to-foot", "whole-body" and "hand-to-hand" segments. At baseline, BIS showed significantly lower extracellular resistance values for the "whole-body" (P < 0.001), "foot-to-foot" (P = 0.03), "hand-to-hand" (P < 0.001) and "transthoracic" (P = 0.014) segments in patients with ADHF than the reference cohort, revealing a specific pattern for peripheral, central and general fluid accumulation. The "foot-to-foot" (AUC = 0.8, P < 0.001) and "hand-to-hand" (AUC = 0.74, P = 0.04) segments indicated compartments of fluid accumulation with good prediction. During cardiac recompensation, BIS values changed significantly and were in line with routine parameters for monitoring ADHF. Mean bodyweight change per day correlated moderately to good with BIS values in the "whole-body" (r = -0.4), "foot-to-foot" (r = -0.8) and "transthoracic" (r = -0.4) segments. Based on our analysis, we conclude that measuring and monitoring fluid accumulation in ADHF using segmental BIS is feasible and correlates with clinical parameters during recompensation.
