The red cell distribution width (RDW) was associated with preoperative deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in hip fractures: a retrospective study.

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
objectiveTo evaluate the association between red cell distribution width (RDW) on admission and preoperative deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in older adult patients with hip fractures.
methodsOlder adult patients with hip fractures were screened from January 2015 to September 2019. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to identify the association between RDW on admission and DVT in these patients. Sensitivity analysis was used to test the robustness of the results.
resultsA total of 1686 patients were included in this study. The multivariate logistic regression model showed that RDW was associated with DVT after adjusting for confounders (odds ratio (OR) = 1.03, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.01-1.05; P < 0.001). An increase in one RDW was associated with a rise of 3% in DVT in older adults with hip fractures. In addition, we found that the linear association was stable in sensitivity analysis.
conclusionsThe RDW on admission was associated with preoperative DVT in hip fractures.
