Relationship between cognitive function and phase angle measured with a bioelectrical impedance system.
Article in European geriatric medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between cognitive function and phase angle (PhA), an indicator of muscle quality.
methodsThis cross-sectional study enrolled outpatients who visited a memory clinic at the Nagoya University hospital from January 2016 to June 2022. We enrolled 153 participants with body composition measurements. Inclusion criteria were a Mini-Mental State Examination score of 20-30 and a clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's dementia (AD) or amnesic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI). The background characteristics of the participants were compared according to AD and aMCI. Next, linear regression analysis was performed with PhA as the objective variable. In addition, logistic regression analysis was performed for AD diagnosis.
resultsPhA was lower in the AD group (P = 0.009). In linear regression analysis, PhA consistently decreased with worsening ADAS score. In logistic regression analysis, high PhA was associated with absence of AD. Gender-specific analyses showed these associations existed only in men.
conclusionsOur study of patients with AD and aMCI found that PhA decreased with worsening of cognitive function. Compared with aMCI, AD was associated with significantly lower PhA. Our results strengthen the limited evidence in the literature showing that low muscle quality is associated with poor cognitive function.
