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
Red cell distribution width (RDW), a measure of the variability in size of circulating erythrocytes, is an independent predictor of mortality in patients with cardiovascular disease. We hypothesized that RDW is a prognostic marker of death, myocardial infarction and unplanned revascularization in a broad population undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We investigated the prognostic value of RDW derived from a complete blood count drawn ≤24 h of PCI in 1,689 patients at four centers who underwent PCI between 2004 and 2007 in the evaluation of drug eluting stents and ischemic events registry. Patients who underwent blood transfusions were excluded. Multivariable analyses of death, MI, unplanned revascularization, and the combined occurrence of these events at 1 year were performed using methods from survival analysis. The analysis was adjusted for creatinine ≥1.5 mg/dL, hemoglobin, congestive heart failure, coronary artery bypass grafting history, male sex, BMI, atherosclerosis of ≥2 coronary vessels, and hypertension. In univariate analysis of RDW stratified by quartiles, membership in the highest quartile was a predictor of mortality as compared to the lowest quartile (HR 5.07, CI 2.07-12.40, p < 0.001). In multivariate analysis, RDW was not an independent predictor of unplanned revascularization after PCI; however, RDW remained an independent correlate of 1 year mortality (HR 1.65, CI 1.22-2.23, p = 0.001); with a continuous net reclassification improvement of 46.5% (95% CI 15.1-76.4%) and a relative integrated discrimination improvement of 57.8% (95% CI 22.1-94.9%) after PCI. RDW is a widely available independent correlate of 1-year mortality after PCI that increases the discriminative value of risk prediction in these patients.
