The relationship between vitamin D deficiency and diabetic foot ulcer: A meta-analysis.
Synthesis in International wound journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 6 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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 meta-analysis investigation to measure the relationship between vitamin D deficiency (VDD) and diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). A comprehensive literature inspection till February 2023 was applied and 1765 interrelated investigations were reviewed. The 15 chosen investigations enclosed 2648 individuals with diabetes mellitus in the chosen investigations' starting point, 1413 of them were with DFUs, and 1235 were without DFUs. Odds ratio (OR) in addition to 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to compute the value of the relationship between VDD and DFU by the dichotomous and continuous approaches and a fixed or random model. Individuals with DFUs had significantly lower vitamin D levels (VDL) (MD, -7.14; 95% CI, -8.83 to -5.44, P < 0.001) compared to those without DFU individuals. Individuals with DFUs had a significantly higher number of VDD individuals (OR, 2.27; 95% CI, 1.63-3.16, P < 0.001) compared to those without DFU individuals. Individuals with DFU had significantly lower VDL and a significantly higher number of VDD individuals compared to those without DFU individuals. However, caused of the small sample sizes of several chosen investigations for this meta-analysis, care must be exercised when dealing with its values.
