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
Aims: There are limited studies on phase angle and sarcopenia in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients. So, we want to explore the association between phase angle and sarcopenia and find a more sensitive indicator for diagnosing sarcopenia. Methods: We included 101 continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients from March 2022 to August 2022 and measured the phase angle and body composition by bioelectrical impedance analysis. All patients had their handgrip strength measured. Then, we divided patients into the sarcopenia ( Results: After adjustments for sex, age, diabetes, BMI, extracellular water ratio, extra water, serum creatinine, total kt/v, and residual kt/v, phase angle correlated to handgrip strength and lowered limb muscle mass but not to skeletal muscle mass, upper arm muscle circumference, upper limb muscle mass and appendicular skeletal muscle mass index. In the multivariate logistic model, low phase angle and older age are risk factors for sarcopenia. The AUROC of phase angle for sarcopenia is 0.79 (95%CI, 0.70-0.86, Conclusion: This study illustrates that age 52 or older is an independent risk factor for sarcopenia in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients. Phase angle can act as a predictor of sarcopenia in those patients. But the combination of age and phase angle is more valuable in diagnosing sarcopenia.
