The Impact of Serum Zinc Levels on Abdominal Fat Mass in Hemodialysis Patients.
Article in Nutrients, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundZinc deficiency is highly prevalent and is caused by inadequate dietary intake, malabsorption and removal by treatment in hemodialysis patients. This study investigated the relationship between serum zinc levels and nutritional status in hemodialysis patients.
methodsA cross-sectional study examining 87 hemodialysis patients was performed. The serum concentrations of zinc were studied to evaluate their association with nutritional status, which was assessed by measuring abdominal muscle and fat areas with computed tomography.
resultsSerum zinc levels were significantly and positively correlated with subcutaneous and visceral fat areas (
conclusionsOur findings suggest that serum zinc levels could play a crucial role in determining abdominal fat mass in hemodialysis patients.
