Bacteriological profile and antibiotic susceptibility of diabetic Foot infections at Ribat University hospital; a retrospective study from Sudan.

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
purposeDiabetic foot infection (DFI) is one of the most feared complications of diabetes. In Sudan, the number of cases and the problems associated with diabetic foot infections increased in recent years. This study aimed to assess the bacteriological profile of patients with DFIs and their antibiotic susceptibility pattern.
methodsA descriptive retrospective cross-sectional study was carried out at Surgery Department of Ribat University Hospital. All medical records of patients with DFIs during the period from September 2017 to February 2019 were reviewed using data collection sheet. The collected data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences.
resultsOut of 250 DFI patients, 73.2% of them were males, and 86.4% of them had type 2 diabetes mellitus, and most of them suffered from diabetes for more than 10 years. Regarding culture results, 64.7% and 35.3% of the samples revealed presence of single microorganism and mixed infections, respectively. A total of 335 bacterial isolates were identified, gram-negative were more prevalent than gram-positive organisms. The most frequently isolated organisms were
conclusionAmong the studied samples, gram-negative bacteria were found to be more common in DFI patients,
