Development and validation of anthropometric predictive equations that estimate the total body water and fat-free mass in Tunisian adults.
Trial report in European journal of clinical nutrition, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo develop and validate equations that estimate total body water (TBW) and fat-free mass (FFM) in adults using anthropometric measurements.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 178 adults (77 men and 101 women; aged 18-59 years). Participants were distributed by sex and age groups, and then randomly assigned to equal two groups; the development (n = 89) and the validation (n = 89). The anthropometric measurements included height and weight. The deuterium dilution technique (DDT) estimated TBW and FFM. Linear regression models were used with the TBW and FFM as the dependent variable, and height and weight as the independent variables. Cross-validation was performed by Bland and Altman plot, and the new anthropometric equations were developed.
resultsIn the validation sample, the developed equations had high R
conclusionIn this study, we developed and validated prediction equations for the estimation of TBW and FFM from DDT in healthy adult Tunisian population. The newly anthropometric prediction equations seem to be the most accurate for Tunisian adult.
