Seasonal fluctuation of total water intake and hydration status among young men and women: a prospective cohort study.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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: Water intake and hydration status have been reported to fluctuate throughout the year. This study investigated seasonal fluctuations of total water intake and hydration status among young adults in Baoding, China. Methods: This prospective cohort study enrolled 82 young adults aged 18-23 years in Baoding, China. Total drinking fluids consumed and water from food were assessed, and the osmolality and electrolyte concentrations of 24-h urine and fasting blood samples were determined. Differences among the four seasons were compared by mixed linear models, followed by determinations of least-significant differences (LSD), with spring used as the reference. Results: Seventy-nine participants (43 men and 36 women) completed the study. Total water intake (TWI) was 359 ~ 429 mL higher in spring and summer than in autumn and winter and was 116 mL higher in summer than in winter (all Conclusion: TWI and urinary and plasma biomarkers of hydration were found to vary seasonally among Chinese young adults, with hydration status being poorer in summer. Men need to pay more attention than women to maintain optimal hydration status. Clinical trial registration: https://www.chictr.org.cn/showproj.html?proj=124857, ChiCTR2100045268.
