Red Cell Distribution Width as a Marker of Disease Severity and In-hospital Mortality in Patients with ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction.
Article in Indian journal of critical care medicine : peer-reviewed, official publication of Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: The red cell distribution width (RDW) has been investigated as a predictive factor for complications and mortality in several critical illnesses, including cardiovascular diseases. Objective: The current study aimed to assess the relationship of RDW with severity and in-hospital mortality in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Materials and methods: A prospective hospital-based observational study was conducted at a tertiary care institute of Northern India. Fifty patients of STEMI who underwent coronary angiography/primary coronary intervention were enrolled as cases and equal number of age- and sex-matched individuals not suffering from any cardiac disease were taken as controls. The RDW admission values of the cases were compared with that of controls. Red cell distribution width values were also compared across the outcome groups among cases. Results: The mean RDW-SD of the cases was 49.0 ± 4.6 fL whereas it was 44.7 ± 3.5 fL for controls, the difference being statistically significant ( Conclusion: Red cell distribution width may serve as a promising prognostic biomarker and tool for risk stratification in patients with STEMI.
