Phase Angle Trajectory Among Critical Care Patients: Longitudinal Decline Predicts Mortality Independent of Clinical Severity Scores.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesThe phase angle (PhA) is an emerging biomarker reflecting the cellular integrity and nutritional status. This study aimed to explore potential associations between the PhA, clinical severity scores, and 60-day survival outcomes following an admission to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
methodsThis prospective, single-center study included 43 critically ill patients admitted to the ICU at Evangelismos General Hospital between May and November 2024. Patients were stratified by their PhA (≤5.4° vs. >5.4°). The PhA was measured at admission and subsequently on days 5-7, 10-11, 13-14, and until discharge. Severity scores (SOFA and APACHE II) were recorded. Between-group differences were assessed using independent samples
resultsThe mean age was 54.6 ± 17 years; 63.6% were male. At ICU admission, patients with a PhA > 5.4° were significantly younger (
conclusionsWhile limited by a small sample size and single-center design, these findings support the further exploration of the PhA as a monitoring tool in critical care.
