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
BackgroundAlthough red cell distribution width (RDW) has been linked to venous thromboembolism, its predictive value for postoperative pulmonary embolism (PE) in surgical trauma patients remains ambiguous. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between preoperative RDW and postoperative PE risk.MethodsWe incorporated 46506 surgical trauma patients from three medical institutions and the MIMIC-IV 2.2 database. We constructed receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC) utilizing preoperative (at admission) RDW and postoperative PE and classified patients into two groups. Firstly, univariate logistic regression was conducted to identify factors correlated with postoperative PE, and the variance inflation factor was computed to evaluate multicollinearity. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was subsequently conducted to identify the independent risk factors for PE. Propensity score matching (PSM) was conducted using a caliper value of 0.1, balancing 26 covariates between the two groups, including demographic features, vital signs, injury severity scores, comorbidities, and laboratory parameters. A total of 10235 pairs were successfully matched.ResultsThe postoperative PE incidence was 0.56%. RDW showed significant predictive value for PE with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.723 (0.696-0.750). Before PSM, RDW ≥14.4% was associated with increased PE risk (OR 4.70, 95% CI 3.63-6.09,
