Bioelectrical impedance analysis and physical function improved risk prediction for cardiac dysfunction in hemodialysis patients.

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
Introduction: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. This cross-sectional study investigated the associations between bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) parameters, physical function, and cardiac function in MHD patients, with the aim of identifying predictors of cardiac dysfunction. Methods: The study included 130 MHD patients from Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital on December 2022. BIA measurements were executed using the Body Composition Monitor. Physical function was assessed by handgrip strength and natural gait speed. Cardiac systolic and diastolic functions were evaluated by echocardiography. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify determinants of cardiac dysfunction. Results: Mean age of all participants was 62.39 ± 13.91 years old while 78 (60%) were male. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify determinants of cardiac dysfunction. Multivariable analysis revealed that NT-proBNP (odds ratio [OR], 1.098; 95% CI, 1.011-1.193; Discussion: BIA and physical function parameters improved risk stratification beyond conventional biomarkers, providing practical tools for screening cardiac risk in MHD patients.
