Increased Red Blood Cell Distribution Predicts Severity of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Exacerbation.
Article in Journal of personalized medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
introductionIncreased red blood cell distribution width (RDW) has been reported to be related to underlying chronic inflammation. Our aim is to investigate the relationship of different complete blood count (CBC) parameters such as hemoglobin level, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean platelet volume (MPV) or RDW with COPD exacerbation severity.
methodsIn the present retrospective analysis, consecutive patients admitted with the diagnosis of "COPD Exacerbation" between 1 January 2012 and 31 December 2015 were evaluated.
resultsThe study population included 804 patients with COPD exacerbation. The maximal partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the arterial blood (PaCO
conclusionsOur study demonstrated that different CBC parameters, such as MCV and RDW, are in correlation with the severity of acute exacerbation of COPD reflected by the PaCO
