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

Red blood cell distribution width (RDW)-derived indicators have increasingly been recognized as biomarkers reflecting systemic inflammation and hematological disorders. However, the prognostic value of these indicators in critically ill patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH), especially the dynamic implications of their temporal changes, remains insufficiently elucidated. A total of 990 adult patients diagnosed with PH in the intensive care unit (ICU) based on ICD-9/10 codes were enrolled from the MIMIC-IV database. The association between baseline levels of three key indicators and the 1-year all-cause mortality risk was assessed using Cox proportional hazards models and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis, and the consistency of this association was assessed for external consistency in the eICU-CRD cohort (
