Association of bioelectrical impedance phase angle and nutritional status in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy.

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: Various tools for nutritional assessment are used in individuals undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), causing varying prevalence rates of malnutrition. This may explain the causal link between nutrition status and clinical outcomes. Phase angle (PhA), a derived metric obtained from bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is used to indicate the nutrition status and evaluate disease prognosis. The aims of this study is to investigate the role of PhA in assessing the nutritional status of patients undergoing PD and to propose new strategies for the perioperative nutritional management of these patients. Methods: One hundred and seventy-three consecutive who underwent PD between March 2023 and September 2024 were evaluated and analyzed retrospectively. Comprehensive nutritional screening, evaluation, and body composition measurements were conducted within the first 48 h after admission. The Spearman correlation analysis was employed to assess the relationship between PhA and nutritional status. Receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC) were generated to assess the capacity of PhA to forecast nutrition risk and determine the cutoff value. The data were categorized into two groups according to the established cutoff value, i.e., the normal PhA group and the low PhA group. We further compared the preoperative nutritional statuses and complications between the two groups. Results: This single-center retrospective study demonstrated that PhA positively correlated with body mass index Conclusion: In summary, patients undergoing PD with low PhA are more likely to develop malnutrition different degrees. Therefore, PhA may serve as a potential biomarker for preoperative nutritional assessment. While PhA shows utility in nutritional evaluation, it exhibited limited clinical significance for predicting most surgical complications in our cohort.
