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

objectiveDiabetes affected 463 million people globally in 2019, and this number is anticipated to reach 700 million by 2045. Diabetes results in lower limb amputation every 30 seconds. Egypt has a high prevalence of diabetic foot disease among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We aimed to identify high-risk patients for diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) in Egypt.

methodsWe designed a cross-sectional study among adult patients with diabetes at Asyut University Hospital. Inlow's 60-second diabetic foot screening tool was used to assess the risk of DFU. Neuropathy was assessed using the 10g monofilament test, and laboratory testing was performed to assess glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and diabetes control levels.

resultsParticipants were aged 46.11 ± 9.18 years; 56% had T2DM and HbA1c levels >7%. In total, 47.9% of participants were at risk for DFUs. This risk was higher in patients who were older, male, widowed, working, illiterate, living in rural areas, and patients with diabetes duration >10 years, body mass index >32 kg/m

conclusionsIncreasing health care providers' awareness and ability to identify high-risk patients is critical to prevent DFUs and reduce the risk of amputation.
