1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Patients on hemodialysis (HD) often experience changes in body composition due to metabolic disorders. Phase angle (PhA) is a marker of tissue integrity and may reflect overall functional condition. This study evaluated body composition and its relationship with PhA in 53 HD patients (27 women, 26 men) over 40 years old, compared with 106 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Body composition was assessed using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), measuring skeletal muscle mass (SMM), fat tissue, total bone mass (BM), and PhA. HD patients had significantly lower fat mass and PhA than controls (
