Effect of intradialytic dietary support on nutritional status, muscle strength, and clinical markers in patients on hemodialysis: a cross-sectional study.

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
backgroundIntradialytic nutritional support influences nutritional status, muscle strength, and related clinical outcomes in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). This study aims to compare the effects of intradialytic nutrition on patient outcomes, malnutrition and sarcopenia risks, and handgrip strength (HGS) in HD patients.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted involving 129 HD patients (62 receiving intradialytic nutritional support and 67 not) from two HD centers located in the same geographic region. Nutritional status was assessed using the MNA-SF, while physical performance was evaluated with SARC-F and HGS. Biochemical markers, including serum albumin, phosphorus, potassium, and hemoglobin (Hb) levels, were measured.
resultsThe group receiving intradialytic nutritional support had significantly higher serum albumin (4.0 [3.7-4.2] g/dL vs. 3.5 [3.2-3.7] g/dL; p < 0.001, respectively) and potassium levels (5.6 [5.1-6.2] mmol/L vs. 5.0 [4.7-5.4] mmol/L; p < 0.001, respectively) compared to the group not receiving support. Phosphorus levels were similar between the two groups (4.8 [3.8-6.1] mg/dL vs. 5.3 [4.5-5.2] mg/dL; p = 0.059, respectively). The nutritional support group had lower Hb levels (10.9 ± 1.7 g/dL vs. 11.8 ± 2.0 g/dL; p = 0.008, respectively) and required higher doses of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (32.0 [24.0-48.0] IU/month×10
conclusionIntradialytic nutritional support was associated with higher serum albumin levels and handgrip strength, with the latter being more prominent among male patients. However, potassium levels were found to be higher in the nutritional support group, which may present a clinical concern and warrants further monitoring. No significant differences were observed in malnutrition or sarcopenia risk. These findings highlight the potential benefits and limitations of intradialytic nutritional interventions and provide a basis for future prospective studies. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
