Advancing Nutritional Care Through Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis in Critical Patients.
Review in Nutrients, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Nutritional support in critically ill patients has been acknowledged as a pillar of ICU care, playing a pivotal role in preserving muscle mass, supporting immune function, and promoting recovery during and after critical illness. Providing effective nutritional support requires adapting it to the patient's diagnosis, unique characteristics, and metabolic state to minimize the risks of overfeeding or underfeeding while mitigating muscle loss. This level of care requires a comprehensive nutritional assessment and the establishment of a nutrition-focused protocol. Regular, consistent and detailed nutritional evaluation can influence both therapeutic decisions and clinical interventions, thus ensuring that the specific needs of critically ill patients are met from the acute phase through their entire recovery process. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is increasingly recognized as a valuable tool for enhancing nutritional care in critically ill patients. By delivering precise, real-time insights into key aspects of body composition, BIA is thought to provide clinicians with a more comprehensive understanding of the complex physiological changes that occur during critical illness. This narrative review highlights the potential of BIA in offering these precise assessments, facilitating the development of more accurate and personalized nutritional strategies for critically ill patients. If BIA can reliably assess dynamic shifts in hydration and tissue integrity, it holds the promise of further advancing individualized care and optimizing clinical outcomes in this vulnerable population.
