Echocardiography versus Bioimpedance in Evaluating Volume Status in Patients with Chronic Cardiorenal Syndrome: A Preliminary Study.
Article in Journal of cardiovascular echography. 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
Background and Aim: Assessment of volume status plays a critical role in the therapeutic management of patients with heart failure (HF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Echocardiography and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) are two noninvasive methods frequently used to evaluate body fluid distribution. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between parameters obtained from these two methods in hospitalized patients. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 40 patients with concurrent HF and CKD admitted to a tertiary hospital were evaluated. Demographic data, medical history, medication usage, and echocardiographic and BIA parameters were collected. Associations between variables were analyzed using correlation and regression models, with statistical significance defined as Results: A significant correlation was found between inferior vena cava diameter and total body water (TBW) (ρ = 0.332, Conclusion: The findings suggest that echocardiography and BIA provide complementary insights into volume assessment in patients with HF and CKD. Significant correlations between selected parameters indicate that combining these modalities may enhance diagnostic accuracy. However, further large-scale studies are warranted to validate the clinical utility of these findings.
