Association of Red Blood Cell Distribution Width to Albumin Ratio With the Prevalence of Kidney Stones Among the General Adult Population.
Article in Immunity, inflammation and disease, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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) and serum albumin levels are potential indicators of inflammatory conditions. However, the relationship between the RDW to albumin ratio (RAR) and the prevalence of kidney stones in the general adult population is not yet established.
methodsThis study utilized data from the 2007 to 2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) project. RAR levels were calculated by dividing RDW by albumin. Multiple logistic regressions and restricted cubic spline (RCS) regression were applied to examine the associations between RDW, albumin, RAR, and the prevalence of kidney stones.
resultsA total of 31,417 adults (2987 participants with kidney stones) were included for analysis. The mean age of the participants was 47.84 ± 0.23 years, and 48.86% were male. The mean of RDW, albumin, and RAR was 13.25 ± 0.02%, 4.26 ± 0.01 g/dL, and 3.14 ± 0.01, respectively. Compared to the first quartile, the fourth quartile of RDW (OR = 1.44 [1.21-1.72], P
conclusionOur findings suggest that higher RAR levels are associated with an increased prevalence of kidney stones in the general adult population.
