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

Introduction Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU), is a common complication of uncontrolled diabetes, that frequently progresses to diabetic foot infection (DFI), contributing to morbidity, economic burden, and lower limb amputations. This study characterizes the bacteriological profile and antibiotic susceptibility patterns in DFIs patients. Methods A retrospective study was conducted from January 2014 and December 2018. All patients records with microbiologically confirmed DFIs. Demographic data, clinical history, ulcer classification, and microbiological findings were reviewed. Bacterial isolates were identified, and antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed. Results Of a total of 56 patients diagnosed with DFIs at a secondary care hospital in Bolivia, the medical records of 42 individuals were reviewed, of which 28 patients met the inclusion criteria for analysis. Among these, 89.2% (n=25) had polymicrobial infections.
