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

Purpose: Diabetic foot ulcer is a public health concern around the world. These wounds are prone to a variety of infections including Methods: We conducted a narrative review of previous studies which were related to the risk of tetanus infection in diabetic foot patients by searching electronic databases. Results: It was found that usually tetanus antibody titers in diabetic patients are below the protective level and they are not appropriately vaccinated. Therefore, diabetes and lack of immunity, put diabetic foot ulcer patients more at risk of tetanus. But this problem is not given serious attention in diabetes care. Conclusions: Thus, it is recommended to provide specific guidelines for tetanus vaccination and prophylaxis in diabetic patients. These recommendations can play a vital role in the prevention of diabetic foot ulcers complication.
