Impact of red blood cell distribution width-albumin ratio on prognosis of patients with CKD.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 48 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
The red blood cell distribution width-albumin ratio (RAR) is a prognostic factor for adverse outcomes in various populations. However, whether RAR is associated with renal outcomes remains unclear. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the impact of RAR on the prognosis in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We conducted a retrospective cohort study using 997 CKD patients who were enrolled in the Fukushima Cohort Study. Patients were categorized into tertiles (T1-3) according to the baseline RAR. The associations of RAR with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) were assessed using Kaplan-Meier curves and multivariable cox regression analyses. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were performed to test whether significant differences were present between red cell distribution width (RDW) and RAR. The median age was 66, 57% were men, the median eGFR was 47.8 ml/min/1.73 m
