Comparing Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis, Air Displacement Plethysmography, and Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry for Body Composition in Pediatric Obesity.
Article in Nutrients, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundBody composition analysis is crucial in clinical practice, yet few methods are suitable for pediatric patients, and data on young children with obesity are limited.
methodsThis study measured body fat percentage (BFP), fat mass (FM), and fat-free mass (FFM) in 26 pediatric patients with obesity (BMI: 35.6±6.9 kg/m
resultsSignificant differences were observed between all methods and parameters (
conclusionsTANITA was the most comparable BIA method to the gold standard, DXA. Therefore, TANITA is recommended for assessing body composition in young patients with obesity to monitor therapy progress in clinical settings. When using BODPOD as an alternative to DXA, caution is warranted since we found relevant differences between both methods.
