Diabetes-related lower limb wounds: Antibiotic susceptibility pattern and biofilm formation.
Article in Saudi pharmaceutical journal : SPJ : the official publication of the Saudi Pharmaceutical Society, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
The expeditious incidence of diabetes mellitus in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, there is a significant increase in the total number of people with diabetic foot ulcers. For diabetic lower limb wound infections (DLWs) to be effectively treated, information on the prevalence of bacteria that cause in this region as well as their patterns of antibiotic resistance is significant. Growing evidence indicates that biofilm formers are present in chronic DFU and that these biofilm formers promote the emergence of multi-drug antibiotic resistant (MDR) strains and therapeutic rejection. The current study targeted to isolate bacteria from wounds caused by diabetes specifically at hospitals in Riyadh and assess the bacterium's resistance to antibiotics and propensity to develop biofilms. Totally 63 pathogenic microbes were identified from 70 patients suffering from DFU. Sixteen (25.4%) of the 63 bacterial strains were gram-positive, and 47 (74.6%) were gram-negative. Most of the gram-negative bacteria were resistant to tigecycline, nitrofurantoin, ampicillin, amoxicillin, cefalotin, and cefoxitin. Several gram-negative bacteria are susceptible to piperacillin, meropenem, amikacin, gentamicin, imipenem, ciprofloxacin, and trimethoprim. The most significant antibiotic that demonstrated 100% susceptibility to all pathogens was meropenem.
