Clinical Utility of Red Blood Cell Distribution Width for the Diagnosis and Prognosis of Cervical Cancer.
Article in International journal of general medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Background: The width of red blood cell distribution (RDW) is correlated with some diseases, but its clinical value and prognostic role in cervical cancer is unclear. Methods: We used receiver operating characteristic curves to evaluate the diagnostic ability of RDW and other clinical parameters in cervical cancer based on a case-control design. Using retrospective data, we explored the correlation of RDW with overall (OS) and progression-free (PFS) survival using Kaplan-Meier analysis and univariate and multivariate Cox regression with the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). A restricted cubic plot was used to evaluate the nonlinear association between RDW and prognosis risk. Results: RDW was significantly higher in cases than in controls (14.6±1.7 vs 12.5±1.8, Conclusion: RDW is an easy, quick, and inexpensive tool for the early detection and risk management of cervical cancer. A greater RDW is associated with a poor prognosis in cervical cancer.
