Association between dietary intake, anthropometric indices, and diabetes-related foot ulcers in Type 2 diabetes: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC nutrition, 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
aimsThis study explored the association of lifestyle factors and dietary status with foot ulcers and new anthropometric indices in individuals living with diabetes-related foot ulcers.
methodsIn this study, 339 patients with type 2 diabetes were recruited from the Diabetes Research Center of the Tehran University of Medical Sciences using a convenience sampling method. Dietary variables were assessed using questionnaires and 24-hour dietary recalls (one holiday and two working days). Body shape index (ABSI), Body Roundness Index (BRI), and Abdominal Volume Index (AVI) were calculated based on their formulas.
resultsPeople in the highest tertile of foot ulcer area had a higher calorie intake than those in the lowest tertile. In addition, protein and zinc intakes were significantly lower in the third tertile of the foot ulcer area than in the lowest tertile. In the ABSI index, in crude model, there is a borderline association of increasing this index in the third tertile compared to first tertile of lifestyle score, (OR:1.82, 95% CI; 0.99–3.33). There was no significant difference in the BRI and AVI indices between the third tertile compared to first tertile of lifestyle score (OR: 0.70, 95% CI; 0.24–2.08) and (OR: 0.91, 95% CI; 0.40–2.06).
conclusionThe study found that the foot ulcer area was marginally related to energy intake. Protein and zinc intake had a significant inverse relationship with the foot ulcer area. However, no significant associations were found between lifestyle scores and new anthropometric indices.
