Diabetic Foot Ulcer Among Adults Attending Follow-Up Diabetes Clinics in Wolaita Zone, Southern Ethiopia: An Unmatched, Case-Control Study.

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
Background: Diabetic foot ulcer is a major public health problem, and among the leading causes of this complication in Ethiopian patients with diabetes. Despite the magnitude of this problem, data regarding the determinants of diabetic foot ulcers are limited. Objective: This study aimed to assess the determinants of diabetic foot ulcers among adults attending follow-up visits in diabetes clinics in the Wolaita Zone, southern Ethiopia. Methods: An institution-based case-control study was done from September 10 to December 28, 2020, in southern Ethiopia. We recruited 137 patients with diabetic foot ulcers and 408 patients without any diabetic foot ulcers using a consecutive sampling method. EpiData version 3.1.1 (EpiData Association, Odense, Denmark) and SPSS version 25 (IBM-SPSS Inc, Armonk, New York) were used for data entry and analysis. Descriptive statistics were calculated followed by a multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results: Having a low wealth index (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 2.6; 95% CI, 1.177-5.662); being obese (AOR = 3.6; 95% CI, 1.380-9.547; Conclusions: This study suggests there is a need for education and counseling of patients on decreasing weight and improving foot-care practice, especially in those who are economically disadvantaged, have peripheral neuropathy, and have lived with diabetes for more than 10 years.
