Red Blood Cell Parameters as Cost-effective Biomarkers in Normal and Altered Glycemic States: A Cross-sectional Study.
Article in International journal of applied & basic medical research. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Hemoglobin A1C levels, along with fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels, are the tests routinely used in the diagnosis and management of diabetes. Complete blood count (CBC) is a simple blood test commonly done for various conditions, from which various red blood cell (RBC) parameters can be assessed. The aim of this study is to assess the relationship between blood glucose levels and RBC parameters, which can be assessed from routine blood investigations done during follow-up. Materials and Methods: The subjects were categorized into three groups based on their hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) levels: normal, prediabetic, and diabetic groups. The first normal group (HbA1C <5.7%), the prediabetic group (HbA1C 5.7%-6.4%), and the diabetic group (HbA1C >6.5%). CBC was done, and total RBC count, hematocrit, hemoglobin, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), MCH concentration (MCHC), and RBC distribution width (RDW) were determined. The data from the three groups were analyzed and compared for statistical significance. Results: Chi-square test and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used for analysis of data in testing for statistical significance between the groups. Significant statistical difference was observed between the groups in MCV, MCHC, and RDW. The diabetic group observed the highest MCV (93.84 ± 8.98), highest RDW (44.59 ± 1.67), and least MCHC (33.09 ± 2.01) when compared with the prediabetic and normal groups. Conclusion: This study concludes that RBC parameters, which are often overlooked need to be considered as important indicators of glucose regulation and inflammatory status in addition to routine HbA1C and blood glucose assessment for comprehensive management of patients.
