Fatigue Is Not Associated with Phase Angle in Hemodialysis Patients.

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
purposeThe aim of this study was to investigate the association between fatigue and phase angle (PA) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on hemodialysis (HD).
methodsA cross-sectional study with older patients than 18 years diagnosed with CKD undergoing HD. From 160 (58.36±15.05 years) patients, (n=96; 60%) are men. Body mass and height were assessed using a portable scale and stadiometer, followed by body mass index (BMI) calculus. The bioimpedance electrical analysis was performed using the Bodystat QuadScan 4000. The sample size was dichotomized in two groups, using the median of our sample, either normal when PA ≥5.4º, or low when the PA <5.4º. The Chalder fatigue questionnaire was used the assess the fatigue. The multiple regression was applied to assess the association between fatigue questionnaire and PA.
resultsWere considered normal PA≥5.4º (n=78, 48.8%) and low PA<5.4º (n=82, 51.2%). The patients of the PA<5.4º group are older compared to the PA≥5.4º group (63.1±15.1 vs. 53.3±13.4 years, p<0.001). There was no association between PA and fatigue score in the crude model (OR: 1.02, 95%CI: 0.96-1.08, p=0.47) and after confounding variables (OR: 1.03, CI: 0.95-1.12, p=0.43).
conclusionsIn HD patients, we found that patients with lower PA values are older. In addition, we did not find association between fatigue and PA.
