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 infections (DFIs) are a leading cause of nontraumatic lower limb amputations globally, and antimicrobial resistance increasingly complicates their management. Latin America and the Caribbean face a rapidly growing diabetes burden, yet comprehensive regional data on resistance patterns in DFIs remain fragmented. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies reporting antimicrobial resistance in DFIs from Latin American and Caribbean countries published between January 1980 and December 2025. Seven databases and gray literature sources were searched. Primary outcomes were prevalence of methicillin-resistant
