Modified creatinine index as a marker of skeletal muscle mass in peritoneal dialysis patients.

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: Sarcopenia is common in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Modified creatinine index (MCrI) by the Canaud's formula and single-pool Kt/V value is an accurate surrogate marker for muscle mass in hemodialysis patients. However, the method of calculation and validity of MCrI has not been tested in PD. Methods: In the exploratory cohort, we studied 138 consecutive patients converted from PD to hemodialysis. Their MCrI during PD, calculated by the Canaud's formula with total weekly Kt/V, and the conventional MCrI after conversion to HD, were compared by the Bland-Altman method. Their correlation with muscle mass as determined by bioimpedance spectroscopy and creatinine kinetic methods was explored. The result was then validated in a second cohort of 605 incident PD patients. Results: In the exploratory cohort, the average bias of computing MCrI during PD and hemodialysis was 0.758 mg/kg/day (95%CI -4.356 to 5.873 mg/kg/day). The MCrI during PD significantly correlated with the muscle mass by creatinine kinetics ( Conclusion: In PD patients, MCrI computed by the Canaud's formula and total weekly Kt/V is a simple and reliable marker of skeletal muscle mass and may serve as a short-term prognostic indicator.
