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
Purpose: To investigate the predictive value of hemoglobin (Hb) to red blood cell distribution width (RDW) (Hb/RDW) ratio in combination with serum sodium for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in elderly acute heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction at 30 days after discharge. Methods: 130 elderly acute heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction were enrolled and followed up at 30 days after discharge. They were classified into the MACE group (n=11) and none-MACE group (n=119). On the day of admission, clinical baseline characteristics were measured and results from laboratory tests were gathered. The correlation and predictive value of Hb/RDW and serum sodium with the occurrence of MACE at 30 days after discharge in acute heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction in the elderly were analyzed. Results: Spearman correlation analysis showed that the occurrence of MACE was negatively correlated with Hb/RDW, serum sodium (r=-0.209, r=0.291, p<0.05) and Hb/RDW (OR=0.484, 95% CI:0.254, 0.922), serum sodium (OR=0.779, 95% CI:0.646,0.939) were independent risk factors (p<0.05) analyzed by multifactorial logistic. Receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC) analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) for the prediction of MACE by Hb/RDW was 0.73, with an optimal threshold of 9.28, sensitivity 81.80%, specificity 70.60%, positive predictive value (PPV) 20.50%, negative predictive value (NPV) 97.70%; the AUC of serum sodium for predicting the occurrence of MACE was 0.76, with an optimal threshold of 140.35 mmol/L, sensitivity 90.90%, specificity 57.10%, PPV 16.40%, NPV 98.60%; and the AUC of Hb/RDW combined serum sodium to predict the occurrence of MACE was 0.83, with sensitivity 90.90%, specificity 78.20%, PPV 27.80% and NPV 98.90%. Conclusion: Hb/RDW and serum sodium had negative correlation with MACE and were independent risk factors of 30-day MACE; Hb/RDW combined with serum sodium can predict 30-day MACE occurrence in elderly acute heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction.
