Osteomyelitis and Its Main Determinants in Patients With Diabetic Foot Ulcer: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Health science reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background and Aims: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) represent a significant and prevalent complication of diabetes, imposing substantial psychological, financial, and healthcare burdens globally. Osteomyelitis, the most common complication of DFUs, is a primary cause of lower limb amputations in diabetic patients. This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the epidemiological and clinical aspects of patients with diabetic foot osteomyelitis (DFOM) resulting from DFU infection. Methods: Hospital records with a diagnosis of diabetic foot wound infection were reviewed during a period of 8 months (April-December 2021). Osteomyelitis was diagnosed using magnetic resonance imaging criteria. Patients were categorized into two groups of with and without osteomyelitis, and compared accordingly for predisposing risk factors and also clinical outcome. Results: Among 252 cases of DFU infection, 23.8% were confirmed to have DFOM. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified lower age ( Conclusion: Approximately 23.8% of patients with DFU may develop osteomyelitis, which can be predicted by lower age, lower BMI, higher income level, higher HbA1c level, and the location of the wound. Early identification and appropriate management of these risk factors may help prevent osteomyelitis development in DFU patients.
