Risk Factors Associated with Amputation for Patients with Diabetic Foot Ulcers: A Retrospective Study.
Article in Diabetes, metabolic syndrome and obesity : targets and therapy, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Objective: Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) and related amputation significantly contribute to morbidity rates. The objective of this study was to assess the risk factors correlated with amputation in Chinese patients with DFU. Methods: A prospective study was implemented on DFU patients at Third Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from February 2016 to May 2024. Patients were categorized into two groups based on whether they underwent amputation: the amputation group (n = 33) and the non-amputation group (n = 29). A comparative analysis was conducted between two groups, focusing on demographic data, disease characteristics, and laboratory indicators. Binary and multivariate logistic regressions were employed to evaluate the risk factors associated with amputation. Receiver Operating Characteristic curve analysis was used to assess the risk factors in predicting amputation in patients with DFU. Results: The incidence of history of amputation, duration of diabetes in the amputation group were significantly increased compared to the non-amputation group ( Conclusion: Our findings indicate that duration of DFU is an independent risk factor for amputation in patients with DFU.
