Study on the Red Blood Cell Distribution Width in Connective Tissue Disease Associated with Interstitial Lung Disease.
Article in BioMed research international, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundConnective tissue disease (CTD) associated with interstitial lung disease (ILD) affects the lungs and can lead to considerable morbidity and shortened survival. Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is a readily available parameter that is routinely reported with complete blood cell count (CBC) This study aimed to investigate the predictive value of RDW in CTD-ILD.
methodsA retrospective analysis was performed on 180 patients with CTD-ILD and 202 patients with CTD but without ILD between April 2016 and December 2018. Baseline demographics, laboratory results, imaging examinations, and results of ultrasound scans were analysed.
resultsIn comparison with patients without ILD, patients with CTD-ILD displayed a larger RDW (14.65 ± 2.08 vs. 14.17 ± 1.63,
conclusionsRDW was significantly increased in patients with CTD-ILD under various CTD backgrounds and may be a promising biomarker that may help physicians predict CTD-ILD risk.
