The role of bioelectrical phase angle in patients with heart failure.
Review in Reviews in endocrine & metabolic disorders, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
The most challenging feature of heart failure (HF) still remains the evaluation of congestion. Residual congestion at discharge and the difficulties in perfectly dosing therapies in order to balance the hydration status of the patient are the most worrisome issues when dealing with HF.The use of bioimpedance vector analysis (BIVA) might promote a different approach in the general management of patients with HF. BIVA is a reliable, fast, bedside tool able to assess the congestion status. It proved to be helpful to physicians for diagnosing congestive status, managing therapies, and providing prognostic information in the setting of HF.Bioelectrical Phase Angle (PhA) - as derived from equations related to the parameters of BIVA - recently surged as a possible biomarker for patients with HF. Studies provided data about the application of PhA in the clinical management and in the overall risk stratification of HF patients.Basically, the use of PhA might be considered as a holistic evaluation of patients with HF which includes the need for a multiparametric approach able to effectively depict the clinical status of patients. There is no definite biomarker able to comprehensively describe and identify all the features of HF patient, but scores based on molecules/techniques able to explore the different pathogenetic mechanisms of HF are desirable.The aim of this review was to provide a comprehensive evaluation of literature related to PhA role in HF and the impact of this biomarker on clinical management and risk stratification of HF patients.
