Risk factors for amputation in diabetic foot ulcers: A retrospective analysis.
Article in International wound journal, 2024. 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 It has been retracted, and should not be counted.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 11 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
Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are chronic, difficult-to-heal wounds with a very high incidence of amputation. For patients with DFUs, prevention of amputation is crucial. However, the risk factors associated with DFU amputation and the extent to which different risk factors increase the risk of amputation are still uncertain. This study intends to provide a clinical basis for early intervention in DFU by retrospectively analysing the risk factors for DFU amputation. A retrospective analysis of 200 patients with DFUs admitted between October 2019 and October 2023 was conducted. Sixty-eight of the 200 underwent amputations. The overall amputation rate was 34%. Multiple logistic regression model showed that neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (OR = 1.943; 95% CI:1.826-2.139), white blood cell (OR = 1.143; 95% CI:1.034-1.267), C-reactive protein (OR = 1.307; 95% CI:1.113-2.194) and Wagner grading (OR = 2.783; 95% CI: 1.751-4.302) were independent risk factors for amputation, while haemoglobin (OR = 0.742; 95% CI:0.638-0.965) and high density lipoprotein were independent protective factors for amputation (OR = 0.168; 95% CI:0.037-0.716), and further Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve curves showed that they showed high accuracy and were good predictors of amputation of DFUs.
