Multimodal Reconstruction Approaches in Diabetic Foot Ulcers.
Article in Cureus, 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
introductionDiabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a common and serious complication of diabetes mellitus, often leading to prolonged morbidity and limb amputation. Successful management involves early debridement, infection control, and appropriate soft tissue coverage.
methodsThe present study is a retrospective case series conducted from March 1 to August 31, 2024, involving seven patients with chronic DFUs at Sree Balaji Medical College and Hospital. Each case underwent individualized reconstruction strategies, including split-thickness skin grafts (STSGs), reverse sural artery flaps, medial plantar artery flaps, cross-leg flaps, and conservative healing, depending on wound location, depth, and vascular status.
resultsAll patients demonstrated favorable outcomes in terms of graft/flap viability and wound healing. Functional recovery was satisfactory in each case. No major complications or recurrences were observed during follow-up.
conclusionEarly and tailored multimodal reconstructive approaches yield positive outcomes in DFUs. Strategic planning based on anatomical site and biomechanical load is crucial for effective limb salvage.
