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
Objective: To develop a predictive model to quantify the possibility of special-grade antimicrobial agents (SGAs) usage in patients with diabetes foot infections (DFIs), providing reference and guidance for clinical practice. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study of 328 type 2 diabetes patients with DFIs. General clinical characteristics and biochemical indicators were extracted from the Hospital Information System (HIS) of Jinan Central Hospital in Shandong Province, China. Logistic regression analysis was performed to select predictors, and the nomogram was established based on selected viables visually. Then, the receive operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the calibration curve and the decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to evaluate the performance of this prediction model. Results: 5 predictors were selected by univariate analysis from 21 variables, including duration of hospitalization, Neutrophil, DBIL, ALB and Wagner grade. The multivariate logical regression analysis illustrated that these 5 factors were independent risk factors for SGAs usage in patients with DFIs. The nomogram model developed by these 5 risk predictors exhibited good prediction ability, as shown by the area under curve (AUC) of ROC curve was 0.884 in the training set and 0.825 in the validation set. Calibration curve showed a good calibration degree of the predictive nomogram model. Moreover, DCA curve showed that the nomogram exhibited greater clinical application values when the risk threshold was between 3% and 63%. Conclusion: Our novel nomogram model showed that duration of hospitalization, Neutrophil, DBIL, ALB and Wagner grade were the independent risk factors of SGAs usage in patients with DFIs. This prediction model behaved a great accurate value and provide reference of SGAs usage in clinic. Further validations are still needed to evaluate and improve the performance of this model.
