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

Objective: To identify the risk factors of diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and to develop and validate a nomogram prediction model for DFU occurrence in primary care setting. Methods: We conducted a single-center retrospective study enrolling 547 T2DM patients hospitalized at The First People's Hospital of Lianyungang from January 2019 to April 2022. Patients were randomly divided (3:1) into modeling (n = 411) and validation (n = 136) cohorts, and further stratified by DFU status. Thirty-four clinical variables were extracted for analysis. LASSO regression with tenfold cross-validation identified key features, followed by multivariate logistic regression to determine independent DFU risk factors. A nomogram model was developed using R software, and its performance was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), calibration curves, the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Results: Among 547 T2DM patients, 150 (27.4%) developed DFU. Multivariate analysis identified seven independent risk factors: age (odds ratio [OR] = 1.032, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.005-1.062, Conclusions: The nomogram prediction model developed in this study demonstrates excellent performance and strong clinical applicability. It provides an effective tool to identify high-risk T2DM patients for DFU and guide early preventive interventions.
