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
objectivesOverhydration occurs in nephrotic syndrome related to kidney involvement of amyloid A (AA) amyloidosis, which can cause an overestimation of body mass index (BMI). Modified BMI (mBMI, albumin×BMI) may be a better marker of nutritional status; therefore, we investigated the relationship between mBMI and the prognosis of patients with renal AA amyloidosis.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the data of patients with biopsy-proven renal AA amyloidosis who were followed up between January 2001 and May 2013. Data regarding baseline characteristics, etiology of amyloidosis, dialysis, and mortality were recorded. Patients were divided into two groups according to median mBMI (group 1, n=60 and group 2, n=61).
resultsThe median age and follow-up period of the cohort (M/F 37/84) were 43 (19) years and 26 (56) months, respectively. Familial Mediterranean fever (37.2%) and tuberculosis (24.8%) were the most common etiologies. The baseline serum creatinine and albumin and proteinuria levels were 1.3 (2.2) mg/dL, 2.6 (1.5) g/dL, and 5.3 (7) g/day, respectively. The mBMIs of groups 1 and 2 were significantly different [41.5 (15.6) vs. 74.2 (21.8) g.kg/m
conclusionLower mBMI has been associated with worse prognosis in renal AA amyloidosis. As an anthropometric measure of nutritional status, mBMI may be a better marker in patients with hypoalbuminemia.
