The value of preoperative RDW for post-pancreatectomy haemorrhage and surgical prognosis in patients with pancreatic cancer: a retrospective study.
Article in BMC cancer, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundPancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly malignant tumor, and only some patients can receive surgical treatment. Complex surgical procedures combined with various postoperative complications seriously affect the prognosis of patients. It is very important to use appropriate biomarkers to prevent and predict the occurrence of complications. On the basis of our previous attention to red blood cell distribution width (RDW), this study aimed to investigate the correlation between RDW and the prognosis of pancreatic cancer patients.
methodsPatients who underwent elective radical resection of pancreatic tumors from January 2017 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Relevant clinical data were collected to evaluate the correlation between preoperative absolute RDW changes and post-pancreatectomy haemorrhage and clinical outcomes.
resultsA total of 2268 patients were analyzed. We found that the preoperative RDW, preoperative LMR, anesthesia method, operation method, preoperative jaundice, operation with NSAIDs, and intravenous administration in patients with PDAC were significantly correlated with the infusion of albumin and R colloidal/crystal and post-pancreatectomy haemorrhage (PPH). In addition, sensitivity analysis revealed that preoperative RDW was associated with 30-day survival (P = 0.026), whereas PPH had a significant effect on in-hospital outcomes (P = 0.002), 30-day outcomes (P < 0.001) and 90-day outcomes (P < 0.001).
conclusionThe preoperative RDW may be a useful marker for predicting and evaluating PPH and short-term prognosis in patients with PDAC.
