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

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a significant global concern. Many diabetic patients will experience complications due to angiopathy, neuropathy, and immune dysfunction, namely diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) and diabetic foot infections (DFI), which can result in lower limb amputation and potentially death. The prevalence of common superficial fungal infections, such as tinea pedis and onychomycosis, can directly increase a diabetic patient's risk of developing both DFU and DFI. In this review article, we discuss the etiology of diabetic foot complications as well as considerations for both screening and management. We also discuss the role of the dermatologist within a multidisciplinary care team in prescribing and managing treatments for tinea pedis and onychomycosis infections within this patient population. We believe that reducing the burden of these fungal infections in the context of the diabetic foot will help reduce DFU and DFI complications and their associated morbidity and mortality.
