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

A 60-year-old male patient with a prior coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia diagnosis presented with a right foot ulcer. The ulcer progressed to osteomyelitis of his right fifth metatarsal with eventual amputation and resection of the affected digit. The infection recurred two months later and spread to the right fourth metatarsal and gangrene, leading to the amputation and partial metatarsal head resection of the fourth toe. A month later, the infection recurred for a second time and a decision to perform a right trans metatarsal amputation of the foot was evaluated to avoid further progression of the infection and the need for more invasive surgical intervention.
