Analysis of pathogen distribution and association with lipid levels in patients with diabetic foot.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Diabetic foot infection (DFI) is a severe complication of diabetes, and dyslipidemia is common in affected patients. However, the relationship between lipid profiles, pathogen distribution, and antimicrobial resistance in DFI remains unclear. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed clinical and microbiological data from 85 patients with diabetic foot treated between January 2021 and August 2024. Lipid parameters (total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-C, and LDL-C) were recorded. Pathogens were identified using routine culture and biochemical methods, and antimicrobial susceptibility was assessed by disk diffusion according to CLSI guidelines. Results: Gram-positive bacteria predominated (54.12%), followed by gram-negative bacteria (38.82%), with Conclusion: Lipid profiles were not significantly associated with pathogen distribution or antimicrobial resistance patterns in patients with diabetic foot infection. Further prospective studies are needed to clarify the role of lipid metabolism in infection susceptibility and clinical outcomes.
