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

objectiveTo identify risk factors and construct a nomogram model using logistic regression to predict mood disturbance in patients with diabetic foot infection.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 313 patients with diabetic foot infection who received treatment at our hospital between October 2020 and January 2023. Patients were grouped based on their post-treatment Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS ≥50) and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS ≥53) scores into two groups: 134 patients with adverse mood and 179 with stable mood. The patients were divided into a test group (n=220) and a validation group (n=93) at a 7:3 ratio. Clinical data and laboratory indicators were collected to screen characteristic factors using four machine learning models. Common risk factors were screened using logistic regression, visualized, and incorporated into a nomogram. The clinical value, accuracy, and predictive value of the model were evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curves (ROCs), calibration curves, and decision curve analyses (DCAs).

resultsAnalysis identified Wagner classification, comorbidities, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), gender, and history of diabetes as common features across four machine learning models. Multifactorial logistic regression confirmed that Wagner classification, comorbidities, HbA1c, gender, and history of diabetes were independent risk factors for adverse mood in patients with diabetic foot infection. We constructed a nomogram based on the five characteristic factors. ROC curve analysis yielded an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.829, indicating high predictive accuracy for mood disturbances in the test group. Calibration curve and DCA analysis demonstrated the model's stability and clinical relevance, further supported by external validation.

conclusionThis study enhanced the predictive accuracy for mood disorders in patients with diabetic foot infections by leveraging machine learning to identify and visualize significant risk factors through a nomogram. This may be a valuable tool for clinical assessments and intervention.
