Prognostic value of red blood cell distribution width in organophosphorus poisoning severity prediction: A hospital-based prospective observation.

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 present study aims to access the prognostic value of red blood cell distribution width (RDW) in severity of organophosphate poisoning and compare with Peradeniya organophosphate poisoning (POP) and clinical outcomes. Methods: A total of 70 patients were admitted to the hospital due to organophosphate poisoning, and the severity was accessed by POP scale. The prognostic value of RDW was accessed and compared with disease severity prospectively at three-time points (during admission time, 48 hours, and 96 hours), and a follow-up was made for the outcome in terms of duration of hospital stay, the requirement of ventilator support, and mortality. Results: Based on receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, the cutoff value of RDW was determined to be 16.1 with 88.24% sensitivity and 81.13% specificity and significantly compared with the POP score (a Conclusion: Subsequent ROC analysis indicates that at hospital admission, RDW can be considered as a reliable marker for predicting the duration of hospital stay and the need for ventilator support and can also be used for prognosis as well as risk stratification of patients with organophosphate poisoning.
