Relationship between Prognostic Nutritional Index and Amputation in Patients with Diabetic Foot Ulcer.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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 prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is a new marker used to assess a patient's nutritional and immune status. It is calculated using serum albumin levels and total lymphocyte count. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between PNI and amputation in patients with diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). Patients with DFU were enrolled in this retrospective study. In our study, a total of 386 patient data, of 110 (28.5%) amputated and 276 (71.5%) non-amputated patients, were statistically analyzed. PNI values were significantly lower in the amputated patient group than in the non-amputee patient group (
