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

Background: Little is known about the association of anthropometric indicators of visceral obesity with handgrip strength (HGS) and quality of life (QOL). We aimed to investigate the association of conicity index (CI) and abdominal volume index (AVI) with HGS and QOL in hemodialysis patients. Methods: The present multicenter cross-sectional study was performed on 326 maintenance hemodialysis patients. Anthropometric measurements were used for CI and AVI. The Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form and Smedley type hand dynamometer were used to assess QOL and HGS, respectively. Results: A higher level of CI was inversely associated with HGS (B: -25.62, Conclusions: Our study evidenced an inverse association of CI with HGS and QOL in female. However, a positive association was found between AVI and HGS only in male. To confirm these findings, more studies are warranted.
