Phase angle reference values derived from bioelectrical impedance analysis in chinese multi-ethnic adults.
Article in Annals of medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesThe study aimed to develop age-, sex-, and ethnicity-specific reference values for Phase Angle (PhA) in Chinese adults aged 20-80 years. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 13256 healthy participants (4793 men and 8463 women) aged 20-80 years from Han, Korean, and Yao ethnic groups in the China National Health Survey were included. PhA was measured using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) at 50 kHz. Generalized Additive Models for Location, Scale, and Shape were used to construct age-, sex-, and ethnicity-specific 5
resultsThe study population comprised 9616 Han individuals, 2136 Korean individuals, and 1504 Yao individuals. In men, PhA values peaked between 30-39 years for the Han and Korean populations and 40-49 years for the Yao population, with a steep decline after 50 years. The peak was observed in women at 40-49 years across all ethnic groups, followed by a gradual decline. Men consistently had higher PhA values than women across all ethnicities and age groups. The PhA reference values (5
conclusionThis study provided age-, sex-, and ethnicity-specific reference values for PhA in diverse Chinese populations aged 20 to 80 years. The reference values for PhA derived from BIA hold the potential for enhancing the diagnosis and prognosis of various health conditions, further highlighting its utility in clinical settings.
