Association of the Bioimpedance Phase Angle and Quality of Life in Postmenopausal Osteoporosis.
Article in Medical principles and practice : international journal of the Kuwait University, Health Science Centre, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectivesOsteoporosis patients with fragility fractures and vertebral deformities have impaired quality of life (QOL). The phase angle, an index calculated from bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) measurements, has been reported to be related to clinical outcomes, mortality, and QOL in various diseases. We aimed to investigate the relationship between the phase angle and QOL in patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis.
methods81 female patients treated for postmenopausal osteoporosis from September 2019 to March 2020 underwent measurement of bone mineral density (BMD) by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, body composition by BIA, and QOL by the 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36).
resultsThe phase angle showed significant positive correlations with physical functioning (r = 0.270, p = 0.015) and physical component summary (PCS) (r = 0.251, p = 0.024) of the SF-36. The phase angle showed significant positive correlations with appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI) (r = 0.456, p < 0.001), lumbar spine BMD (r = 0.241, p = 0.030), and femoral neck BMD (r = 0.26, p = 0.021) and a significant negative correlation with age (r = -0.526, p < 0.001). Multiple regression analysis of the factors potentially associated with SF-36 PCS showed that the phase angle (r = 7.506, p = 0.012) was a significant contributor to PCS (R2 = 0.184).
conclusionThe phase angle in postmenopausal osteoporotic patients was significantly related to QOL after adjusting for age, BMI, ASMI, and BMD. As the phase angle is a parameter that can be measured easily and noninvasively, it might be a useful aid for QOL assessment in osteoporotic patients.
