Segmental bioimpedance in pregnant end stage renal failure patient for dry weight titration and volume management (case report).
Article in BMC nephrology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundVolume assessment, dry weight titration, and blood pressure control in pregnant kidney failure patients are often challenging, with physiological fluid accumulation in the trunk and lower limbs and an increased risk of preeclampsia. We used segmental bioimpedance in the volume management of our kidney failure patient on haemodialysis. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of a female patient on maintenance haemodiafiltration with no residual kidney function for whom we used segmental bioimpedance to guide dry weight adjustment. At different gestational periods, we targeted a different extracellular to total body water ratio according to body segments. This allowed us to support her high-risk pregnancy, identify her as probably developing preeclampsia and trigger a plan for closer monitoring and delivery during the third trimester when she had rapid weight gain.
conclusionSegmental bioimpedance is a practical, simple, and non-invasive test that can be performed at the dialysis unit and is useful as an adjunct decision-making tool in the management of pregnant dialysis patients.
