The Red Blood Cell Distribution Width-Albumin Ratio Was a Potential Prognostic Biomarker for Diabetic Ketoacidosis.

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
backgroundThe red blood cell distribution width (RDW)-albumin ratio (RA) is a new biomarker, which is d-efined as RDW divided by albumin. This study aimed at determining the prognostic values of RA for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).
methodsData were obtained from Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care Database III V1.4 (MIMIC-III) and the RA calculated. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed to determine the correlation between RA and 90-day mortality or 365-day mortality. To further investigate the association with RA and mortality, the patients were divided into two groups. The second outcome was the association between the incidence of DKA-related infections and RA.
resultsFor DKA patients in the ICU, RA was significantly correlated with 90-day mortality (HR: 2.1, 95% CI: 1.5, 3.0, p < 0.001) and 365-day mortality (HR: 1.9, 95% CI: 1.5, 2.5, p < 0.001). A high RA was independently correlated with increased 90-day mortality (HR: 7.8, 95% CI: 1.8, 34.0, p for trend <0.001) and 365-day mortality (HR: 5.2, 95% CI: 2.4, 11.3, p for trend <0.001). Moreover, RA was found to be an independent predictor for sepsis and septic shock in patients with DKA (HR: 2.9, 95% CI: 2.0, 4.1, p < 0.001). After adjusting for confounders, the statistical outcome was the same.
conclusionA high RA is significantly correlated with increased all-cause mortality of DKA as well as an increased incidence of DKA-related infections. RA is a potential prognostic marker for DKA.
