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 Aims: Diabetic foot ulcers are the main complication of diabetes mellitus. There is limited information on the prevalence and factors of diabetic foot ulcers in Ethiopia, particularly to the study setting. The study aimed to assess the prevalence of diabetic foot ulcers and determinant factors among adult diabetic patients who attend the diabetic follow-up at Adwa General Hospital, Ethiopia, 2019. Methods: An institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted. The data was collected using face to face interviews, direct observation, and a patient's records reviews. Data were cleaned, entered, and analyzed using SPSS version 23. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with a diabetic foot ulcer. Finally, Results: The prevalence of diabetic foot ulcer was 13%. Being a rural residence (AOR = 7.180, 95% CI: 2.663-19.359), oral hypoglycemic medication (AOR = 2.521, 95% CI: 1.001-6.349), medication nonadherence (AOR = 4.480, 95% CI: 1.954-10.269), poor diabetic foot self-care practice (AOR = 4.350, 95% CI: 1.378-13.731), lost to follow-up (AOR = 4.838, 95% CI: 1.828-12.801), neuropathy (AOR = 4.938, 95% CI: 1.565-15.580), and alcohol drink (AOR = 4.178, 95% CI: 1.592-10.966) were the determinant factors. Conclusion: The prevalence of diabetic foot ulcer was high. Being a rural residence, oral hypoglycemic medication, medication nonadherence, poor diabetic foot self-care practice, lost to follow-up, neuropathy, and alcohol drinks were the determinants of diabetic foot ulcer. Health education on diabetic foot self-care practice, alcohol drink, and the other determinants are important to prevent diabetic foot ulcer.
