The obesity paradox: A further consideration in dialysis patients.
Article in Seminars in dialysis, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 papers.
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
Several epidemiological cohorts have demonstrated that higher body mass index (BMI) is associated with lower mortality risk among patients receiving hemodialysis. However, BMI may be an inaccurate indicator of nutritional status among dialysis patients because it does not differentiate between muscle and fat mass or provide information about body fat distribution. More sophisticated methods of body composition analysis are therefore required to address the question of which component is associated with greater survival. Recent evidence has also shown that changes in body weight and body composition are more strongly associated with mortality in dialysis patients than measurement of BMI at a single time point. Given that obesity is common among the dialysis population, weight loss interventions are encouraged for obese dialysis patients who are on a transplant waiting list in order to increase the access for transplantation.
