1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: This study leverages the eICU collaborative research database (eICU-CRD) to investigate the relationship between the hemoglobin-to-red blood cell distribution width ratio (HRR) and 28-day mortality in patients with epidural hematoma (EDH). Methods: A total of 2,161 patients admitted between 2014 and 2015 with EDH were selected. Data included demographics, medical history, and laboratory tests. HRR was calculated and stratified into quartiles. Covariates included Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), HDL, TG, hospital time, ICU time, LDL, age, BMI, gender, coma status, race, and medical conditions like COPD, CHF, and diabetes. Non-normal data distributions were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis and chi-square tests, with logistic regression to explore the association of HRR and 28-day mortality. Results: Higher HRR quartiles correlated with lower 28-day mortality ( Conclusion: HRR is significantly associated with 28-day mortality in EDH patients, with higher HRR values correlating with improved survival. ICU time also showed a correlation with reduced mortality, particularly up to a critical point.
