Red cell distribution width as a prognosticator in patients with heart failure.
Article in ESC heart failure, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
aimsIncreased red cell distribution width (RDW) is a poor prognostic factor in patients with heart failure (HF). However, only a few large-scale studies have identified the clinical utility of RDW after adjusting for covariates affecting RDW. METHODS AND
resultsFrom January 2010 to April 2021, we retrospectively enrolled patients diagnosed with HF from three referral hospitals with available RDW data (taken within 3 months of HF diagnosis) using an integrated clinical data system. Patients with an ejection fraction (EF) < 50% or HFA-PEFF (Heart Failure Association Pre-test assessment, Echocardiography and natriuretic peptide, Functional testing, Final aetiology) score ≥ 2 without severe valvular heart disease or coronary revascularization were enrolled. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality, and cardiovascular mortality was also collected. Multivariable Cox regression analysis and stabilized inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) were used to identify any association between RDW and all-cause death by balancing covariates or compounding factors. The global χ
conclusionsIncreased RDW at the time of diagnosis is associated with poor prognosis in patients with HF, independent of clinical risk factors, such as NT-proBNP, and echocardiographic parameters. Therefore, RDW may aid in the management of these patients beyond traditional risk factors.
