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

This study aimed to identify the prognostic markers for Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU) healing using routinely collected clinical data. A prospective cohort study of 1075 (M/F: 664/411) patients who attended the foot clinic with a DFU was conducted. At baseline, detailed clinical data were collected and ulcer characteristics were systematically assessed and classified. During 167 ± 408 days follow-up, ulcers of 1039 patients healed and 36 did not. Ulcers with SINBAD classifications 4, 5 and 6 (compared to SINBAD-3) showed 50%, 60% and 70% increase in the risk of not healing and 2.2, 2.8 and 3.3 folds increase in healing duration respectively. Also, deeper ulcer and having previous ulcer history showed 68% and 47% increase in the risk of ulcer not healing and 57% and 20% increase in healing duration respectively. Each day delay in presentation increased the risk of ulcer not healing by 0.5%. The duration of healing was 2.4 times longer for bigger ulcers (> 1 cm
