Association of an Overhydrated State With the Liver Fibrosis and Prognosis of Cirrhotic Patients.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
BACKGROUND/
aimA bioimpedance analysis (BIA) can indicate an overhydrated state as the extracellular water/total body water (ECW/TBW) value. This study aimed to assess the clinical significance of this value in patients with chronic liver diseases (CLDs). PATIENTS AND
methodsA total of 552 CLD patients who received a liver biopsy and underwent anthropometric assessment and BIA-based body composition analysis were enrolled. The association of the ECW/TBW value with the liver fibrosis and nutritional status was assessed. The relationship between the ECW/TBW value and the prognosis of cirrhotic patients (N=209) was also evaluated.
resultsThe ECW/TBW value increased as liver fibrosis progressed and was also related to decreased muscle mass/sarcopenia. The presence of overhydration was associated with a poor prognosis of cirrhotic patients.
conclusionAn increased ECW/TBW value was associated with progressive liver fibrosis and malnutrition and related to the prognosis of cirrhotic patients.
