Impaired quality of life and diabetic foot disease in Saudi patients with type 2 diabetes: A cross-sectional analysis.
Article in SAGE open medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
objectivesThis study aimed to assess the overall health-related quality of life in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with diabetic foot disease compared to diabetic patients without diabetic foot and to identify the clinical utility of this assessment.
methodsA total of 250 consecutive patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (100/150 with/without diabetic foot, respectively) were interviewed. The questionnaires of the 36-item short-form survey and region-specific foot and ankle ability measure were applied. Wagner-Meggitt wound classification was used for foot-ulcer evaluation. Follow-up of patients for 3-6 weeks was done to identify the potential clinical short outcomes of diabetic foot ulcers.
resultsType 2 diabetes mellitus patients with diabetic foot exhibited poor mental and physical health consequences. Females had more prevalence of forefoot lesions, larger ulcer size, advanced Wagner grade, and higher frequency of unhealed ulcers. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis demonstrated high value of foot and ankle ability measure and 36-item short-form questionnaires to discriminate type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with and without diabetic foot at cutoff values of 66 and 49.6, respectively. Foot and ankle ability measure questionnaire also showed high performance for differentiating the clinical outcome of foot ulcer. Total foot and ankle ability measure subscale score above the cutoff value of 65.5 could discriminate patients with complete healing and unhealed ulcer lesions at a high sensitivity and specificity.
conclusionThe current findings confirm the impact of diabetic foot disease on type 2 diabetes mellitus overall health-related quality of life reflected in 36-item short-form questionnaire and foot and ankle ability measure questionnaire which showed high discriminative values for type 2 diabetes mellitus patient sub-grouping. Their application in routine clinical health assessment with continuous medical education programs is highly recommended to achieve a better health-related quality of life.
