Infections in Diabetic Foot Ulcerations.
Article in Current infectious disease reports, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Diabetic foot complications are the largest nontraumatic cause of lower extremity amputations, accounting for almost 90,000 amputations per year. Most of these amputations are the result of infections caused by ulcerations of the foot that are not recognized or treated in an appropriate and timely fashion. Often, cultures are taken when not warranted and antibiotics are administered when no infection is present, causing significant increases in resistant organisms. Although there have been many attempts to classify diabetic foot lesions, none of these systems are specific for infectious complications. This paper presents a system for identifying the presence and severity of infection with suggestions for appropriate empiric antibiotic therapy.
