Association of Hemoglobin to Red Blood Cell Distribution Width-Standard Deviation (RDW-SD) Ratio and 3-Month Readmission in Elderly Chinese Patients with Heart Failure: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in International journal of general medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Purpose: Hemoglobin (Hb) and red blood cell distribution width-standard deviation (RDW-SD) have clinical significance in the prognosis of heart failure (HF). Little is known regarding the prognostic value of the Hb/RDW-SD ratio in patients with HF. This study sought to investigate the association between Hb/RDW-SD ratio and HF 3-month readmission in Chinese elderly patients. Patients and Methods: The present study was a retrospective cohort study. A total of 1816 HF patients were extracted from the Chinese HF database. A generalized linear model was used to explore the association between Hb/RDW-SD and 3-month readmission in HF. The generalized additive model was used to explore the nonlinear relationship, and a two-piecewise linear regression model was used to find the inflection point. Subgroup analysis explored interactions and whether each subgroup was consistent with the primary outcome direction. Results: Result showed Hb/RDW-SD was negatively associated with HF 3-month readmission (OR = 0.70, 95% CI: 0.55 to 0.89, P = 0.0031). A non-linear relationship was detected between Hb/RDW-SD and HF 3-month readmission with two inflection points (1.78 and 2.17). Both Hb/RDW-SD < 1.78 and Hb/RDW-SD > 2.17 showed a significant correlation between them, with corresponding effect values of (OR = 0.38, 95% CI: 0.17 to 0.87, P = 0.0209) and (OR = 0.44, 95% CI: 0.27 to 0.71, P = 0.0007), respectively. Conclusion: Hb/RDW-SD is negatively associated with HF 3-month readmission. The relationship between Hb/RDW-SD and HF 3-month readmission is also non-linear. Both Hb/RDW-SD < 1.78 and Hb/RDW-SD > 2.17 were strong negatively associated with HF 3-month readmission.
