Standardized Phase Angle for Predicting Nutritional Status of Hemodialysis Patients in the Early Period After Deceased Donor Kidney Transplantation.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundThis study was designed to verify whether early posttransplant standardized phase angle (SPhA) determines nutrition status of hemodialysis patients in regard to different nutritional markers and predicts handgrip strength (HGS) 6 months after kidney transplantation.
methodsA total of 82 kidney transplant recipients on maintenance hemodialysis treatment entered the study. Nutritional status was evaluated before kidney transplantation, at the hospital discharge date, and 6 months after. We used bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), three different malnutrition screening tools, HGS, and anthropometric measurements. Demographic profiles and biochemical nutritional markers were collected. SPhA values, adjusted for age and BMI, were used in our study.
resultsIn the early posttransplant period, kidney transplant recipients lost muscle mass, gained fat mass, and developed mostly negative SPhA, accompanied by significantly lower albumin levels. The subjects with lower than median (<-1.46) SPhA
conclusionAt the moment of hospital discharge, lower than the median SPhA is related to protein-energy wasting, represented as lower concentrations of nutrition biomarkers and an active inflammatory response. Higher SPhA before kidney transplantation predicts HGS 6 months after kidney transplantation, especially in women.
