Health literacy and cognitive function in people with diabetic foot ulcer with focus on knowledge, attitude, and practice in relation to foot self-care.
Article in SAGE open medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Introduction: Preventative foot self-care is vital for avoiding diabetic foot ulcer episodes and lowering the risk of amputations. Yet, it demands high levels of health literacy and cognitive function. Objective: To investigate health literacy and cognitive function in persons presenting with a diabetic foot ulcer. Methods: Participants with type 2 diabetes were recruited from the tertiary foot clinic at Steno Diabetes Center North Denmark. The European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire and Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination were applied. A semi-structured interview guide was developed to evaluate foot self-care knowledge, attitude, and practice. The qualitative data were analyzed with a deductive approach based on a qualitative thematic analysis model. Subsequently, an integrated analysis of the quantitative and qualitative results was conducted. Results: The participants ( Conclusion: The study suggests that people presenting with a diabetic foot ulcer have different foot self-care profiles based on person-specific health literacy, cognitive function, and knowledge, attitude, and practice element characteristics, highlighting the need for individualized education and intervention strategy instead of a one-size-fits-all approach.
