Pharmacotherapeutic Evaluation of Topical Insulin Versus Medicinal Honey Dressing in the Management of Diabetic Foot Ulcers among Patients with Diabetes Mellitus: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences. 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 ulcer (DFU) is a serious complication of diabetes mellitus and a major cause of morbidity and lower limb amputation. Effective pharmacological interventions that enhance wound healing are essential for DFU management. Topical insulin has been shown to promote cellular proliferation and angiogenesis, whereas medicinal honey possesses antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and tissue regenerative properties. Objective: To compare the effectiveness of topical insulin therapy and medicinal honey dressing in promoting wound healing among patients with DFU. Methods: A randomized controlled superiority trial with a four-group pre-test and post-test design was conducted among 120 patients with Wagner grade I and II DFU. Participants were allocated into four experimental arms ( Results: Both interventions significantly improved wound healing scores ( Conclusion: Both topical insulin and medicinal honey dressing are effective pharmacological adjuncts for DFU management. However, medicinal honey dressing demonstrated superior efficacy in promoting wound healing among patients with diabetes mellitus.
