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 ulcer (DFU) exerts a heavy physical and emotional burden on patients with diabetes mellitus. The purpose of the present study was to explore the impact of anxiety and perceived social support on depression of DFU patients well as patients' characteristics associated with depression. The sample of the study consisted of 180 DFU patients. Data collected by the completion of "Self-rating Depression/Anxiety Scale- Zung" (SDS/SAS) and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). Patients had moderate levels of anxiety and depression (median: 36, 42, respectively) and high levels of perceived social support from their significant ones, their family and friends (median: 24, 24, 17, respectively). After multiple regression factors that were found to have an impact on depression after taking into account all other factors, were patient's age of above 70 years, patient's anxiety and the social support they received from their significant ones. More specifically, patients aged above 70 years had 9.51 points higher depression than patients aged <50 years of age (β = 9.51, 95% CI: [0.76, 18.25], P = .034). Moreover, one point increase in patient's anxiety score indicated an increase of 0.71 points in patient's depression (β = 0.71, 95% CI: [0.43, 1.00], P = .001). On the contrary, one point increase in patient's social support from their significant ones indicated a decrease of 1.52 points in patient's depression (β = -1.52, 95% CI: [-0.25, -2.79], P = .020). Clinically, a better understanding of factors having an impact on depression on DFU may provide an essential in planning cost effective interventions.
