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

backgroundDiabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is one of the main chronic complications caused by diabetes, leading to amputation in severe cases. Bacterial infection affects the wound healing in DFU.

methodsDFU patients who met the criteria were selected, and the clinical data were recorded in detail. The pus exudate from the patient's foot wound and venous blood were collected for biochemical analysis. The distribution of bacterial flora in pus exudates of patients was analyzed by 16S rRNA sequencing, and the correlation between DFU and pathogenic variables, pyroptosis and immunity was analyzed by statistical analysis. Then, the effects of key bacteria on the inflammation, proliferation, apoptosis, and pyroptosis of polymorphonuclear leukocytes were investigated by ELISA, CCK-8, flow cytometry, RT-qPCR and western blot.

resultsClinical data analysis showed that Wagner score was positively correlated with the level of inflammatory factors, and there was high CD3

conclusionMixed bacterial infections exacerbate DFU progression with a high predominance of Corynebacterium, and Corynebacterium promotes inflammation, apoptosis and pyroptosis to inhibit DFU healing.
