Psoas muscle index and psoas muscle density as predictors of mortality in patients undergoing hemodialysis.
Article in Scientific reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
This study aimed to investigate the associations of computed tomography (CT)-measured psoas muscle index (PMI: psoas muscle area normalized by height) and psoas muscle density (PMD: average of bilateral psoas muscle CT values [Hounsfield unit (HU)]) with mortality in patients undergoing hemodialysis. We included 188 hemodialysis patients who underwent abdominal CT. PMI and PMD were measured at the third lumbar vertebral level. We found that PMI and PMD were independently associated with the geriatric nutritional risk index and log C-reactive protein, respectively. The optimal cut-off values of PMI and PMD for men and women were 3.39 cm
