Peripheral arterial disease and its correlates in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in a teaching hospital in northern Nigeria: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
backgroundPeripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a risk factor for diabetic foot ulcer, limb amputation as well as coronary heart disease. It is more common in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and co-exists with peripheral neuropathy. Prevalence of PAD in type 2 DM patients in northern Nigeria is largely unknown. We investigated the occurrence and factors associated with PAD among patients with type 2 DM in a tertiary hospital in northern Nigeria.
methodsThis was a cross- sectional analytic study. We recruited 200 patients with type 2 DM consecutively from the diabetes clinic of the Jos University Teaching Hospital. Ankle brachial index was assessed for each participant. Clinical information, anthropometric indices and blood samples were collected for assay. Data was analysed using CDC Epi-Info and logistic regression analysis was used to determine independent correlates of PAD.
resultsPAD was present in 38.5%(n = 77) of subjects and it was associated with the female sex, age ≥ 50 years, Body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25 kg/m
conclusionPAD is present in more than a third of patients with type 2 DM in a tertiary hospital in northern Nigeria. A BMI of ≥25 kg/m
