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

To investigate the influencing factors of lower limb amputation in patients with diabetic foot ulcers. Patients with diabetic foot ulcers who were hospitalised in a tertiary general hospital in Guizhou Province from January 2019 to March 2022 were retrospectively collected. Sociological information of the general population, comorbidities, laboratory-related indicators, and information on the specialty situation, using univariate analysis and multifactor analysis, compared the influencing factors of amputation and non-amputee patients. A total of 205 patients with diabetic foot and 69 ampute patients (33.7%) were enrolled. The univariate analysis found that the decrease in HDL cholesterol levels was associated with the occurrence of lower extremity amputation, and logistic stepwise regression analysis showed that HDL-C was inversely correlated with the amputation rate of patients with diabetic foot ulcers, and the risk of amputation at low levels of HDL-C was 2.452 times higher than that of high-level HDL-C (95% CI: 1.105-5.846). Decreased HDL cholesterol levels are an independent predictor of amputation in patients with diabetic foot ulcers.
