Diabetic foot complications-lessons learned from real-world data derived from a specialized Austrian hospital.
Article in Wiener klinische Wochenschrift, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundDiabetic foot complications, one of the most severe late complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus, are associated with a tremendous personal and financial burden. In order to drive the prevention of diabetic foot complications forward and facilitate early detection and personalized screening of high-risk patients, longitudinal studies are needed to identify risk factors associated with diabetic foot complications in large patient datasets.
methodsThis is a retrospective cohort study on 3002 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus aged ≥ 18 years without prior foot complications. The data were collected between 2006 and 2017 in an Austrian hospital department specialized for diabetic patients. In addition to a univariate Cox regression analysis, multivariate Cox regression models were established to identify independent risk factors associated with diabetic foot complications and adjust for potential confounders.
resultsWe observed a total of 61 diabetic foot complications in 3002 patients. In the multivariate Cox regression model, significant risk factors (hazard ratio, 95% confidence interval) for foot complications were age at diagnosis > 70 years (3.39, 1.33-8.67), male gender (2.55, 1.42-4.55), neuropathy (3.03, 1.74-5.27), peripheral arterial disease (3.04, 1.61-5.74), hypertension > 10 years after diagnosis (2.32, 1.09-4.93) and HbA1c > 9% (2.44, 1.02-5.83).
conclusionThe identified risk factors for diabetic foot complications suggest that personalized early detection of patients at high risk might be possible by taking the patient's clinical characteristics, medical history and comorbidities into account. Modifiable risk factors, such as hypertension and high levels of blood glucose might be tackled to reduce the risk for diabetic foot complications.
