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

To assess the accuracy of a nomogram for predicting the risk of lower-extremity amputation (LEA) in individuals with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). We retrospectively analyzed data from 144 patients with DFUs at the Department of Orthopedics of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University, collected between January 2020 and December 2023. Univariate analysis determined primary predictive factors for amputation, followed by single and multifactor logistic regression analyses to indentify independent factors. These were utilized to develop a prediction model using R4.3.3, and a nomogram was created. Its performance was verified using receiver operating characteristic (ROC), corrected calibration, and clinical decision curves. Twelve primary predictive factors were identified from 20 variables, including age, Wagner grades, peripheral angiopathy of diabetes (PAD), chronic kidney disease(CKD), C-reactive protein(CRP) and the number of blood sugar abnormalities(BSA) etc. Multivariate logical regression analysis illustrated that Wagner grades, PAD, CRP, CKD, and the number of BSA were independent risk factors. The area under the curve (AUC) of the ROC curve was 0.967, and the revised calibration curve of the nomogram demonstrated strong fitting ability. This prediction model is a valuable tool for screening LEA risk and preventing DFU from progressing into amputation.
