Value of red blood cell distribution width in evaluating 2019-nCoV infection in neonates: a retrospective study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) can be employed to prognosticate the outcome of adult patients infected with 2019-nCoV and to appraise the efficacy of treatments for neonatal sepsis. Nevertheless, its utilization in neonates infected with 2019-nCoV remains unexplored. In this research, we examine the association between RDW and 2019-nCoV infection in neonates and its potential as an indicator of therapeutic efficacy. The clinical and laboratory data of neonates diagnosed with 2019-nCoV infection or sepsis in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of two hospitals were gathered and retrospectively analyzed via a sample t-test. The RDW of the neonatal 2019-nCoV infection group was lower than that of the neonatal sepsis group (P < 0.05). In each group, the RDW following treatment was lower than that before treatment (P < 0.05). These outcomes suggest that the alterations in RDW in neonates with 2019-nCoV infection exhibit smaller overall fluctuations compared to those with neonatal sepsis. However, they are equally effective in evaluating treatment efficacy, with notable improvement detected after therapy. Our discoveries broaden the application of RDW in neonates with 2019-nCoV infection and imply that the dynamic changes in RDW can be utilized to assess the therapeutic effect.
