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.

Settings and Design: This is a cross-sectional study was conducted at the Adult Endocrinology Outpatient Clinics, King Abdulaziz Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Methods and Material: Demographic data, clinical and laboratory variables, documentation of foot exam, and foot complications were collected from the medical records of a sample of patients with diabetes attending endocrinology/diabetes clinics from January 2020 to December 2024. Statistical Analysis: Descriptive statistics summarized participant characteristics. Associations between variables were assessed using Chi-square or Fisher's Exact test as appropriate. Results: The study included 202 patients, 56% female. Foot exam was done in 41% of the study sample and 12% had foot complications. Around 33% of those who did not have foot complaints were examined.
