Comparison of air displacement plethysmography and octopolar multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis in NCAA Division I male lacrosse athletes.
Article in PeerJ, 2026. 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: Body composition is an important determinant of general health and, in athletes, is often associated with sports performance and injury risk. The purpose of this investigation was to compare body composition measurements gathered through octopolar multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (O-MF-BIA) and air displacement plethysmography (ADP) in Division I lacrosse athletes. Materials and Methods: Fifty-four male lacrosse players underwent body composition testing using O-MF-BIA and ADP during preseason. Measures of percent body fat (PBF), total fat mass (FM), and total fat-free mass (FFM) were collected using both devices. Results: There was no statistical difference between O-MF-BIA and ADP for mean values of FFM ( Conclusion: Body composition measurements obtained by O-MF-BIA and ADP were similar; however, the wide LOA indicates caution should be used when using the devices interchangeably.
