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

Diabetic foot complications, including ulcers, infections, and amputations, remain a major cause of morbidity among individuals with diabetes, primarily driven by neuropathy and peripheral vascular disease. Despite being largely preventable, their burden remains substantial, particularly in high-risk populations. To assess the burden and associated factors of diabetic foot complications among patients attending a tertiary diabetes centre in the Qassim region, Saudi Arabia, between 2021 and 2024. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted using medical record data from 4119 patients attending a tertiary referral diabetes and endocrinology centre. Standardised clinical and demographic data were extracted and analysed to estimate the burden of diabetic foot complications and examine associated factors. The mean age of the participants was 58.8 ± 10.8 years; 60.5% were male, and 97.8% had type II diabetes. The mean BMI was 28.2 ± 2.9 kg/m
