Disparities in preventative diabetic foot examination.
Article in Seminars in vascular surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
The objective of this study was to assess the overall differences in the standard of preventive foot care for patients at risk of diabetic foot ulceration and to identify specific demographic factors affecting these health care practices, including race and ethnicity. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data for 2011 to 2018 were analyzed. Participants (20 years and older) with diabetes were categorized as White, Black, Hispanic, Asian, and others (including multiracial participants) based on self-reported race and ethnicity. The primary outcome was foot examination over the past year administered by a medical professional. Logistic regression was performed to examine the effects of race and ethnicity on the annual diabetic foot examination, controlling for age (65 years and older), gender, and health insurance status. Among the 2,836 participants included in the study (weighted percentage: 61.1% were White, 13.9% were Black, 15.1% were Hispanic, 5.4% were Asian, and 4.5% were other), 2,018 (weighted percentage: 71.6%) received annual diabetic foot examination over the past year. Hispanic participants (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 0.685; 95% CI, 0.52-0.90) were significantly less likely than White participants to receive an annual foot examination (Black participants: aOR = 1.11; 95% CI, 0.83-1.49; Asian participants: aOR = 0.80; 95% CI, 0.60-1.07; other participants: aOR = 0.66; 95% CI, 0.40-1.10). Factors associated with receipt of foot examination were age 65 years or older (aOR = 1.42; 95% CI, 1.05-1.92) and having health insurance (aOR = 3.02; 95% CI, 2.27-4.03). Our findings suggest that Hispanic adults with diabetes are receiving disproportionately lower rates of preventive foot care compared with their White counterparts. This significant variation in the standard of care for individuals with diabetes reflects the need to further identify factors driving the disparities in preventive foot care services among racial and ethnic minority groups.
