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

Lower extremity ulcers are a major complication of diabetic disease, often leading to a source of infection for patients. Due to delayed wound healing, ulcers quickly develop into extensive lesions leading to infections that are polymicrobial in nature and highly likely to acquire antibiotic resistance. We present the case of a 44-year-old man with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus who developed an ulcer on the left lower extremity after an episode of mild pruritus. Failure of early patient presentation to the office resulted in the propagation of infection, including areas of depth and necrosis. The ulcer was initially treated with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (SXT) until cultures revealed a polymicrobial infection of
