Evaluation of the predictive value of red blood cell distribution width for onset of cerebral infarction in the patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome.
Article in Medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is a risk factor for the complications caused by obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). This study was aimed to evaluate the predictive value of RDW for the occurrence of cerebral infarction in patients with OSAHS.We conducted a prospective study of 129 consecutive patients who were admitted to the Sleep Laboratory of in the Tenth People's Hospital of Shanghai (China) with complaints of snoring, apnea, or daytime sleepiness. All patients underwent polysomnography between June 2011 and May 2012. In total, 90 patients met the study criteria and were included in the study; there are 71 men and 19 women.RDW correlated positively with the apnea hypopnea index (AHI) (P = .00, r = 0.76). Logistic regression analysis showed correlations between each variation and cerebral infarction, high blood pressure (odds ratio [OR] = 4.72, P = .220), diabetes (OR = 2.67, P = .490), hyperlipidemia (OR = 7.42, P = .190), RDW (OR = 58.24, P = .020), and AHI (OR = 243.92, P = .001). RDW ≥ 15% showed a higher predictive value for the occurrence of cerebral infarction in patients with OSAHS (area under curve 0.837; sensitivity 0.919; specificity 0.755), with positive and negative predictive values of 0.697 and 0.938, respectively.RDW correlates positively with AHI. RDW values ≥15% are predictive for the occurrence of cerebral infarction in patients with OSAHS.
