1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Recent studies have shown that red blood cell distribution width (RDW) has emerged as a novel predictor of cardiovascular diseases. We aim to investigate the association between RDW and the risk of coronary artery lesions (CALs) in pediatric patients with Kawasaki disease (KD). Methods: KD patients were classified as the CALs group (patients with CALs) and non-CALs group (patients without CALs). Differences among the groups were analyzed by Mann-Whitney Results: The red blood cell distribution width (RDW) and C-reactive protein were significantly higher in the CALs group than those in the non-CALs group ( Conclusions: RDW is an independent predictor with high sensitivity and specificity to predict CALs in KD patients. The elevation in RDW level (>13.86%) may be used as novel biomarkers for early predicting CALs in KD patients during the acute phase.
