Extracellular water/total body water ratio as predictor of mortality in hemodialysis patients.
Observational study in Renal failure, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 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
backgroundOverhydration is a predictor of mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) is used to determine the body composition. Extracellular Water/Total Body Water (ECW/TBW) ratio has been proposed to predict mortality.
methodsMulticenter, prospective, observational, proof-of-concept study to estimate the impact of ECW/TBW in global and cardiovascular mortality and the relationship with cardiovascular biomarkers. The study included 60 patients (mean age, 71.8 ± 11.4 years; mean time on HD, 52.3 ± 30.8 months) with a median follow-up of 30.5 months (IQ range, 17.2-34 months).
resultsPost-dialysis ECW/TBW was directly associated with NT-proBNP and cTnT. During the study 28 patients died, most of them (43%) due to cardiovascular events. Compared to the survivors, these subjects had a higher post-dialysis ECW/TBW ratio (
conclusionsThe post-dialysis ECW/TBW ratio measured by BIS can be a predictor of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality.
