Value of the red blood cell distribution width (RDW) and neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in the prediction of functional recovery and 3-month mortality following endovascular treatment for acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. 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
Objectives: The red blood cell distribution width (RDW) and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) have been linked to poor prognosis in patients with ischaemic stroke. However, no study has yet evaluated the prognostic role of RDW and NLR, or their combined effect on reperfusion in patients with endovascularly-treated acute ischaemic stroke. This study therefore aimed to analyse the impact of RDW and NLR on poor functional outcomes and failed reperfusion following endovascular treatment in patients with acute Methods: A total of 275 patients with acute Results: Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified RDW (p = 0.015) and NLR (p = 0.015) as independent predictors of mortality at the 3rd month. ROC curve analysis of RDW revealed a cutoff value of 14.25 (p = 0.009) for poor clinical outcomes (modified Rankin scale [mRS] 3-6). Similarly, a cutoff value of 14.25 was found for mortality prediction (p = 0.003). The cutoff value for poor clinical outcome (mRS 3-6) in the NLR was determined as 5.93 (p = 0.003), whereas the cutoff value for mortality was set at 5.17 (p = 0.028). RDW also predicted failed reperfusion, with a cutoff value of 17.75 (p = 0.048). Conclusions: High RDW and NLR upon admission were identified as independent indicators of mortality in endovascularly treated acute
