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: Intraneural blood flow (INBF) serves as a useful marker for diagnosing peripheral neuropathies. However, the specific relationship between sciatic nerve INBF (SN Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was performed on patients with diabetes between June 2018 and July 2024. The study population was categorized into two groups based on electroneurophysiological findings: a DPN and a non-DPN group. Within the DPN group, the patients were subdivided as DFU and non-DFU subgroups. Clinical characteristics and ultrasound parameters, including SN Results: The study included 113 patients with diabetes [mean age ± standard deviation (SD), 63.81±12.31 years; 71 males] (82 had DPN and 31 did not). The subgroup analysis of DPN patients included 61 individuals with DFU and 21 without. Adjusted logistic regression analysis revealed a significant independent association between SN Conclusions: SN
