Red Cell Distribution Width as a Severity Marker on the Outcome of Patients with Acute Kidney Injury on Renal Replacement Therapy.
Article in Indian journal of critical care medicine : peer-reviewed, official publication of Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundAcute kidney injury (AKI) requiring dialysis is associated with high mortality and morbidity. Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) has been shown as a predictor of mortality in different subsets of patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU). This study compares the predictive ability of RDW and other severity illness prognostic models on 30 days mortality in adult patients admitted to ICUs with AKI necessitating dialysis. MATERIALS AND
methodsThirty patients were evaluated using five different prognostic scoring models. Sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, acute tubular necrosis-individual severity index (ATN-ISI), version II of acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE II), vasoactive-inotropic score (VIS), version II of simplified acute physiology score (SAPS II), and RDW as a marker were used to prognosticate the severity of illness. The scores were calculated using the values of clinical and laboratory parameters at the time of admission.
resultsThe prognostic abilities of the scores were compared for their discriminatory power using receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves. The area under the ROC curve (AROC) of RDW was 0.904, SOFA score was 0.828, ATN-ISI was 0.743, SAPS was 0.857, and APACHE II score was 0.828. Vasoactive-inotropic score has the lowest discriminatory power with AROC of 0.487. Red blood cell distribution width has a strong and significant correlation with APACHE II and SOFA scores and a weak relation with ATN-ISI score and SAPS II.
conclusionRed blood cell distribution width has a better predictive ability than other disease severity scoring systems to predict mortality in an adult AKI patient admitted to ICU with need for renal replacement therapy (RRT).
