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
Background and Aim: The prevalence rates of depression and anxiety among diabetic patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) vary from one study to the other. We aimed to determine the prevalence of depression and the associated risk factors among patients with DFU. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study using a self-reported questionnaire on adult patients aged 18 years old and above with DFU at our institution. We used the 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire to evaluate the presence of depressive symptoms. Results: A total of 75 patients, 56 (74.7%) males and 19 (25.3%) females, participated in the study; 33 (44.0%) were more than 60 years old. The prevalence of moderate to severe depression among our patients was 35 (46.7%). Patients who had DFU for more than 1 year had a higher proportion of moderate to severe depression ( Conclusion: Patients with DFU have a high frequency of moderate to severe depression regardless of age, gender, or other sociodemographic characteristics, with patients with long-standing DFU having triple the risk of depression as those with freshly diagnosed DFU. Diabetic persons should be thoroughly assessed to reduce the diabetes result, and preventative actions and patient education about DFU are crucial.
