The Ratio of Red Blood Cell Distribution Width to Albumin Is Correlated With All-Cause Mortality of Patients After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention - A Retrospective Cohort 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
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the independent effect of the ratio of red blood cell distribution width (RDW) to albumin (RA) on all-cause mortality in patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: Clinical data were obtained from the Multiparameter Intelligent Monitoring in Intensive Care-III (MIMIC-III) database version 1.4 and the database of Second Affiliated Hospital and Yuying Children's Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University. We used the MIMIC-III database for model training, and data collected from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University for validation. The primary outcome of our study was 90-day mortality. Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to estimate hazard ratio (HR) for the association between RA and all-cause mortality in patients after PCI. Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to assess the relationship between RA and Gensini score or cardiac troponin I (cTnI). Results: A total of 707 patients were eligible in MIMIC-III database, including 432 males, with a mean age of 70.29 years. For 90-day all-cause mortality, in the adjusted multivariable model, the adjusted HRs [95% confidence intervals (CIs)] for the second (RA: 3.7-4.5 ml/g) and third (RA >4.5 ml/g) tertiles were 2.27 (1.11, 4.64) and 3.67 (1.82, 7.40), respectively, compared to the reference group (RA <3.7 ml/g) ( Conclusion: RA is an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality in patients after PCI. The higher the RA, the higher the mortality. RA has a good predictive ability for all-cause mortality in patients after PCI, which is better than RDW or albumin alone. RA may be positively correlated with the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with CAD.
