Association between red cell distribution width to albumin ratio and acute kidney injury in patients with sepsis: a MIMIC population-based study.
Article in International urology and nephrology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
purposeTo investigate the association between red cell distribution width (RDW) to albumin (ALB) ratio and acute kidney injury (AKI) in sepsis.
methodsThis was a retrospective cohort study. Data were collected from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care Database IV (MIMIC-IV) from 2008 to 2019. The incidence of AKI was the primary outcome, which was defined based on the improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO). The association of RDW/ALB ratio with AKI in sepsis was assessed by multivariate logistic regression analysis using relative risk (RR) and a 95% confidence interval (CI). Subgroup group analyses were applied according to age, use of ventilation, and use of vasopressor, SAPS II, and SOFA.
resultsOf 1810 sepsis patients involved in this study, 563 (31.10%) sepsis patients developed AKI after ICU admission. The results suggested an increase in RDW/ALB was associated with a rise in the risk of AKI in sepsis (RR 1.09, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.16, P = 0.013).Based on the subgroup analysis, RDW/ALB ratio was significantly associated with the risk of AKI in sepsis patients using the treatment of ventilation (RR: 1.07, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.14, P = 0.041)) and in patients with SAPS II < 43 (RR: 1.16, 95% CI 1.04 to 1.29, P = 0.007).
conclusionRDW/ALB ratio was independently associated with the risk of AKI in sepsis patients.
