Association between red blood cell distribution width-to-albumin ratio and prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction.
Article in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundRed blood cell distribution width (RDW) and albumin level were considered to be related to the prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This study aims to investigate the correlation between RAR and 90-day mortality in AMI patients.
methodsData of AMI patients were obtained from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC-III) database. According to the median, RAR < 4.32 was regarded as low RAR level group, and RAR ≥ 4.32 as high RAR level group; low RDW level group was defined as < 14.00%, and high RDW level group as ≥ 14.00%; albumin < 3.30 g/dL was low level group, and albumin ≥ 3.30 g/dL as high level group. The outcome was the mortality rate within 90 days after admission to ICU. Univariate and multivariate Cox models were performed to determine the relationship between RAR and 90-day mortality in AMI patients with hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Stratification analyses were conducted to explore the effect of RAR on 90-day mortality in different subgroups of age, gender, simplified acute physiology score II (SAPS II), elixhauser comorbidity index (ECI) score, treatment modalities and white blood cell.
resultsOf the total 2081 AMI patients, 543 (26.09%) died within 90-day follow-up duration. The results showed that high RAR (HR = 1.65, 95% CI 1.34-2.03) and high RDW levels (HR = 1.31, 95% CI 1.08-1.61) were associated with an increased risk of death in AMI patients, and that high albumin level was related to a decreased risk of death (HR = 0.77, 95%CI 0.64-0.93). The relationship of RAR level and the mortality of AMI patients was also observed in the subgroup analysis. Additionally, the finding indicated that RAR might be a more effective biomarker for predicting 90-day mortality of AMI patients than albumin, RDW.
conclusionRAR may be a potential marker for the prognostic assessment of AMI, and a high RAR level was correlated with increased risk of 90-day mortality of AMI patients.
