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

introductionThis study aimed to investigate the predominant pathogenic microorganisms, antimicrobial resistance patterns, and antibiotic sensitivity profiles of diabetic foot infections in the southern region of a province in central-eastern China, thereby providing evidence-based guidance for the rational use of antibiotics for treating foot infections in patients with diabetes.

methodsA retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data from patients with diabetic foot infections who were treated at a large tertiary hospital between 1 July 2019 and 31 July 2024. Wound specimens were collected for bacterial culture and antimicrobial susceptibility testing, and both clinical and microbiological data were analyzed.

resultsA variety of pathogenic microorganisms, predominantly Gram-positive (G

conclusionsThe issue of antimicrobial resistance in foot infections associated with diabetes mellitus is becoming increasingly severe. Clinical treatment should be guided by antimicrobial susceptibility testing to ensure rational antibiotic use, improve therapeutic outcomes, reduce the emergence of resistant bacteria, and lower recurrence rates.
