Correlation of Hemoglobin A1c with Red Cell Width Distribution and Other Parameters of Red Blood Cells in Type II Diabetes Mellitus.
Article in Cureus, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06067399 (Relationship Between Red Cell Distribution Width), which is not on this map. Cited by 15 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.

Abstract
Objective To determine the correlation of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) with red cell width (RDW) and other analytic parameters of red blood cells (RBCs) in type II diabetic patients. Design Cross-sectional analytical study. Place and duration of the study Al-Tibri Medical College and Hospital Karachi; from July 2017 to January 2018. Patients and methods This cross-sectional study was conducted on diagnosed type II diabetic patients visiting the outpatient department of medicine at Al-Tibri Medical College Hospital from July 2017 to January 2018. Diabetes mellitus was diagnosed according to American Diabetes Association (ADA) guidelines. After taking consent and conducting a clinical assessment (include history and physical examination), laboratory tests, such as fasting blood glucose, random blood glucose, complete blood count (CBC), and HbA1c, were collected on proforma. Results A total of 119 patients were eligible for the study with a mean age of 48.63±12.462 (range 24-76) years; among those, males were 74 (62.2%) and females were 45 (37.8%). The mean duration of diabetes mellitus (DM) was 6.735±3.759 (range 1-20) years. The mean hemoglobin of patients was 11.59±1.315 gm/dl. The mean corpuscular volume (MCV) was 76.65±11.121 fl and the mean RDW was found to be 18.287±4.352, with the highest value of 30.20. The mean MCH was 30.223±23.873 pg, with the highest value of 38.4 pg. The mean cell hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) was 28.214±4.7498 mg/dl. The HbA1c of the study population was found to be moderately uncontrolled and the mean HbA1c was 8.278±5.015%, with the highest value of 16.2%. The mean fasting blood sugar was 158±39.50 mg/dl while the mean random blood sugar was 236±57.390 mg/dl. The correlation of HbA1c with RDW turned out to be significant statistically (p-0.035) while other RBCs and/or hematological parameters, such as MCV, hemoglobin, and platelets, revealed no significant correlation. Conclusion The study highlighted that RDW has a significant correlation with HbA1c and is an inexpensive and freely available test so it may be used as a marker of glycemic status.
