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

Background: Globally, peripheral artery disease (PAD) affects >200 million people, disproportionately affecting people with diabetes. Prior studies characterizing the risk profile of PAD in diabetes have excluded West Africans, whose vascular biology is relevantly different. This study characterized the aggregate effect of modifiable risk factors on PAD in West Africans with diabetes. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study among 803 Ghanaian adults with diabetes. PAD was defined as ankle-brachial pressure index ≤0.90 and/or intermittent claudication. A multivariate logistic regression model was built to identify modifiable PAD risk factors, which were used to define the number of risk factors for each participant. The odds of PAD were determined based on the number of modifiable risk factors. Results: The mean age, diabetes duration, and HbA Conclusion: West Africans with diabetes are very sensitive to the cumulative effect of hypertension, chronic kidney disease, central obesity, and elevated LDL cholesterol concentration for PAD. These findings provide data to guide PAD screening/treatment strategies.
