Elevated Red Blood Cell Distribution Width Levels at Admission Predicts Depression After Acute Ischemic Stroke: A 3-Month Follow-Up Study.

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
Purpose: Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is closely related to inflammatory-related disease markers. The present study aimed to investigate the association between the red blood cell distribution width (RDW) and post-stroke depression (PSD). Patients and Methods: A total of 414 patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) admitted to our hospital from June 2018 to July 2021 were consecutively enrolled and received 3 months' follow-up. According to the 17-item Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) assessment, they were divided into PSD group and non-PSD group. Diagnosis of PSD was made in accordance with DSM-IV. RDW was recorded within 24 hours of admission. Results: Among the included 414 patients, 95 (22.95%) patients were diagnosed as having PSD at 3 months after stroke. The results showed significantly higher level of RDW in patients with depression (13.69 (IQR13.24-13.88) vs. 13.56 (IQR 12.67-13.77), P<0.001) at admission than patients without depression. After adjustment for potential confounding factors, the odds ratio of PSD was 5.707 (95% CI, 2.717-11.989) for the highest tertile of RDW compared with the lowest tertile. Moreover, based on the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the optimal cutoff of RDW levels as an indicator for the prediction of PSD was projected as 13.01, which yielded a sensitivity of 83% and a specificity of 41.0%, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.643 (95% CI, 0.585-0.701; P = 0.012). Conclusion: Higher RDW levels at admission were found to be correlated with PSD 3 months after stroke.
