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

backgroundSepsis is a severe complication in hospitalized patients with diabetic foot (DF), often associated with high morbidity and mortality. Despite its clinical significance, limited tools exist for early risk prediction.

aimTo identify key risk factors and evaluate the predictive value of a nomogram model for sepsis in this population.

methodsThis retrospective study included 216 patients with DF admitted from January 2022 to June 2024. Patients were classified into sepsis (

resultsThe multivariable analysis identified six independent predictors of sepsis: Diabetes duration, DF Texas grade, white blood cell count, glycated hemoglobin, C-reactive protein, and albumin. A nomogram integrating these factors achieved excellent diagnostic performance, with an AUC of 0.908 (95%CI: 0.865-0.956) and robust internal validation (AUC: 0.906). Calibration results showed strong agreement between predicted and observed probabilities (Hosmer-Lemeshow

conclusionThe nomogram prediction model, based on six key risk factors, demonstrates strong predictive value, calibration, and clinical utility for sepsis in patients with DF. This tool offers a practical approach for early risk stratification, enabling timely interventions and improved clinical management in this high-risk population.
