Prognostic Significance of Pre- and Post-operative Red-Cell Distribution Width in Patients with Gastric Cancer.
Article in Journal of gastrointestinal surgery : official journal of the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundHigh red cell distribution width (RDW) is reportedly provoked by chronic inflammation and poor nutritional status; high pre-operative RDW is related to poor prognosis in some cancers. However, the prognostic significance of post-operative RDW in gastric cancer (GC) patients is unclear.
methodsWe enrolled 221 patients who had undergone curative surgery for histopathologically diagnosed gastric adenocarcinoma.
resultsOptimal cutoff values were determined by ROC analysis to be 14.85 (pre-operative) and 14.05 (post-operative). We accordingly divided patients into the high (pre-RDW
conclusionsPost-operative RDW may be a useful prognostic indicator in GC patients.
