Does Red Cell Distribution Width Predict Hip Fracture Mortality Among the Arab Population? A Single-Center Retrospective Cohort Study.
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 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundHip fractures impose significant morbidity and mortality. Red cell distribution width (RDW) appears to be an emerging tool in predicting mortality following hip fractures. Several factors can influence the RDW value including genetic factors and ethnicity. The purpose of the study was to assess the relation between RDW level at admission and hip fracture mortality within 6 months among Arab/Middle East populations.
methodsWe conducted a single-center retrospective cohort study including 549 patients (274 female and 275 male) diagnosed with a hip fracture undergoing surgery from February 2016 to December 2019. All included patients shared the same country of origin which is Arab Middle East country. Statistical analysis, including binary regression, was performed to assess the relationship between RDW and mortality within 6 months of admission. Other predictors of mortality following hip fracture surgery were also assessed.
resultsThe mean age was 76.42 (±9.19) years. Seventy (12.8%) of participants died within 6 months. No statistically significant association (P=0.053) between RDW level at admission and mortality within 6 months of surgery was found. Binary regression demonstrated that the only independent predictors of mortality were age (P= 0.003, odds ratio 1.048 with 95% CI 1.016 to 1.080) and male gender (P= 0.021, odds ratio 1.872 with 95% CI 1.100 to 3.185).
conclusionAlthough the previous studies reported that RDW is one of the predictors of mortality in hip fracture patients, our study found no relation in the Arab population. This finding may confirm the influence of genetic factors and ethnicity on RDW value. We recommend further large-scale multicenter studies to solidly establish the relationship between RDW and hip fracture mortality among the Arab/Middle East population.
