Comparative Performance of Body Composition Parameters in Prediction of Death in Hospitalized Patients on Maintenance Hemodialysis: A Cohort Study.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
We compared the prognostic value of nutritional or volumetric parameters measured by body composition in hospitalized patients on maintenance hemodialysis. We conducted a cohort study to assess the association of different parameters of body composition with all-cause mortality in inpatients admitted to our nephrology department from January 2014 to December 2016. Of the 704 study patients, 160 (22.7%) died during a median follow-up of 33 months. In multivariate adjusted Cox models, higher ratio of extracellular water to body cell mass (ECW/BCM) (adjusted HR per 1-SD, 1.49; 95% CI, 1.19 to 1.85), lower lean tissue index (LTI) (adjusted HR per 1-SD, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.57 to 0.86) and lower body cell mass index (BCMI) (adjusted HR per 1-SD, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.58 to 0.85) were associated with a significantly greater risk of death. When these parameters were added to the fully adjusted model, BCMI performed best in improving the predictability for all-cause mortality (integrated discrimination improvement = 0.02, P = 0.04; net reclassification index = 0.11, P = 0.04). Among body composition indexes, ECW/BCM was the most relevant fluid volume indices to mortality and BCMI and LTI were the most relevant nutritional status indices to mortality in maintenance hemodialysis patients.
