1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTo investigate the effectiveness of tibial transverse transport (TTT) combined with nose ring drain (NRD) in the treatment of severe diabetic foot ulcer.

methodsThe clinical data of 60 patients with severe diabetic foot (Wagner grade 3 or 4) ulcer who were admitted between April 2017 and August 2020 and met the selection criteria were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 30 cases were treated with TTT combined with NRD (TTT+NRD group), and 30 cases were treated with TTT (TTT group). There was no significant difference in gender, age, diabetes duration, preoperative glycated hemoglobin, comorbidities, wound area, and duration, side, and grade of diabetic foot (

resultsNo obvious surgical complications occurred in the two groups. Patients in both groups were followed up 3-13 months, with an average of 5.7 months. The duration of antibiotic therapy and hospital stay in the TTT+NRD group were significantly shorter than those in the TTT group (

conclusionTTT combined with NRD is an effective method for the treatment of severe diabetic foot ulcers with deep infections or relatively closed cavities or sinuses. It can shorten the time of antibiotic use and the length of hospitalization; and the NRD has a good drainage effect without obvious comorbidities, procedure and the postoperative care are simple and easy to obtain materials.
