Effect of bioelectrical impedance technology on the prognosis of dialysis patients: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

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
Managing patient 'dry weight' according to clinical standards has deficiencies. Research has focused on the effectiveness of using bioelectrical impedance technology for fluid management in dialysis patients. Whether bioelectrical impedance monitoring can improve dialysis patients prognoses remain controversial. We performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials to determine whether bioelectrical impedance was effective in improving dialysis patients prognoses. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality (13.6 ± 9.1 months). Secondary outcomes were left ventricular mass index (LVMI), arterial stiffness assessed using Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV), and N-terminal brain natriuretic peptide precursor (NT-proBNP). Of 4,641 citations retrieved, we identified 15 eligible trials involving 2763 patients divided into experimental (
