Red blood cell distribution width combined with age as a predictor of acute ischemic stroke in stable COPD patients.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Aim: This retrospective study aimed to investigate the independent clinical variables associated with the onset of acute cerebral ischemic stroke (AIS) in patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Method: A total of 244 patients with COPD who had not experienced a relapse within 6 months were included in this retrospective study. Of these, 94 patients hospitalized with AIS were enrolled in the study group, and the remaining 150 were enrolled in the control group. Clinical data and laboratory parameters were collected for both groups within 24 h after hospitalization, and the data of the two groups were statistically analyzed. Results: The levels of age, white blood cell (WBC), neutrophil (NEUT), glucose (GLU), prothrombin time (PT), albumin (ALB), and red blood cell distribution width (RDW) were different in the two groups ( Conclusion: The combination of RDW and age in patients with stable COPD might be a potential predictor for the onset of AIS.
