Extracellular water to total body water ratio, a novel predictor of recurrence in patients with colorectal cancer.
Article in Annals of gastroenterological surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Background: Total body water (TBW) fraction, which accounts for 60% of body weight, is an important indicator of body composition, and the extracellular water to TBW ratio (ECW/TBW) is reportedly useful in predicting clinical outcomes of patients with organ disorders. We aimed to clarify the clinical impact of preoperative ECW/TBW status on survival outcomes in cancer patients. Methods: We used a database of 320 colorectal cancer (CRC) patients who underwent potentially curative resections. Preoperative ECW/TBW was measured using a bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), and its correlation with patient survival outcomes, clinicopathological factors, laboratory data, and comorbidities were analyzed. Results: A high preoperative ECW/TBW was significantly associated with poorer relapse-free survival (RFS; Conclusions: A high preoperative ECW/TBW was a predictive factor for recurrence and poorer overall survival independent of the tumor, node, and metastasis (TNM) stage. Our data suggest that preoperative evaluation of ECW/TBW using BIA might serve as a novel tool for developing CRC treatment strategies.
