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

Determining the optimal amputation level in diabetic foot (DF) and peripheral artery disease (PAD) patients is crucial for minimizing reamputation risk while preserving functionality. The Society for Vascular Surgery Wound, Ischemia, and Foot Infection (SVS WIfI) and International Working Group on Diabetic Foot (IWGDF) scoring systems are widely used for risk stratification, but their predictive value for reamputation remains unclear. The current study aimed to evaluate the predictive utility of these scoring systems for reamputation risk in patients undergoing amputations due to DF or PAD. A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 108 patients who underwent unilateral amputations due to DF or PAD between 2016 and 2021. Patients were categorized based on WIfI and IWGDF classifications, and clinical outcomes, including reamputation rates, ICU admissions, and mortality, were analyzed using logistic regression and post hoc analyses. Reamputation occurred in 41 (38%) patients. Higher WIfI (OR: 3.85, 95% CI: 2.10-7.05,
