1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is an important issue among patients undergoing dialysis treatment. Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is associated with a number of adverse body composition changes. However, whether body composition is associated with HRQOL is uncertain. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of body composition on HRQOL in PD patients. We performed a cross-sectional observational study on the association between body composition and HRQOL in PD patients at a single center. Body composition was determined by multifrequency bioimpedance spectroscopy. HRQOL is summarized to three composite scores: kidney disease component summary (KDCS), physical component summary (PCS), and mental component summary (MCS). The relationships between HRQOL and the hydration index, lean tissue index (LTI), and fat tissue index (FTI) were analyzed by regression analysis. One hundred and ninety-seven PD patients were included in the present study. Patients with severe fluid overload showed a lower PCS. The hydration index and FTI showed statistically significant negative associations with PCS. In subgroup analysis, the associations between the hydration index and PCS remained robust after stratifying according to sex, age, and residual urine. Our results indicated that both the hydration index and FTI were negatively associated with HRQOL, especially PCS.
