Assessment of the impact of pH of wound fluid on the associated microbial distribution in the cases of infected diabetic foot ulcer.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are the most common complication associated with diabetes mellitus and foremost cause of lower extremity amputations with over a million individuals undergoing amputations per year. Purpose: This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out to determine the association between the pH of the wound fluid in the infected DFUs with the type of associated microflora. Material and Methods: One hundred patients suffering from DFUs were included in the present study. The pH measurement of the wound fluid of DFUs patient along with aerobic/facultative anaerobic microflora through quantitative culture technique and anaerobic microflora through molecular techniques was assessed. The demographic data (age, gender), type of microflora, and chronicity of the DFU were statistically analysed with the pH of the wound fluid. Results: The majority of the DFUs were polymicrobial in nature. Conclusion: The pH of the wound is not a significant indicator for the type of associated microflora in the cases of infected DFUs based on single sampling at presentation.
