The Association Between Red Blood Cell Distribution Width and the Severity of Diabetic Chronic Kidney Disease.
Article in International journal of general medicine, 2021. 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
purposeRed cell distribution width (RDW) has been evidenced to be related to various diabetes-associated macrovascular and microvascular complications. However, the studies on the association between RDW and diabetic chronic kidney disease (CKD) are still scarce. The aim of the study is to explore whether there is any association between RDW and the severity of diabetic CKD. PATIENTS AND
methodsThe study recruited 396 patients diagnosed with diabetic CKD at People's Hospital of Gaochun from January 2006 to April 2021. Baseline characteristics were gathered and laboratory tests were performed to measure clinical indexes. Patients were also categorized into three groups based on their CKD stages. Correlation analysis and multivariate ordinal logistic regression were performed to investigate the association between RDW and the severity of diabetic CKD. The risk size was described as odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI).
resultsWe found a significant association between RDW and the severity of CKD, with a correlation coefficient of 0.32 (
conclusionRDW is significantly associated with the disease stages of diabetic CKD, and the risk is higher for people with 5-10 years of diabetes and for those who do not control the HbA1c level well. This study has implications for the diagnosis, monitoring, and timely treatment of the diabetic CKD.
