Polymicrobial Complexity Rather than Glycemic Control Is Associated with Multidrug Resistance in Diabetic Foot Infections.

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
To investigate factors associated with multidrug resistance (MDR) in diabetes-related foot infections (DFIs), focusing on polymicrobial infection and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). This retrospective single-center study included culture-positive deep-tissue biopsy specimens collected during 2025. Consecutive positive biopsies from the same patient were grouped into episodes when successive samples were obtained ≤7 days apart. MDR was assessed using organism-specific antimicrobial categories, counting resistant results and excluding expected resistance phenotypes. Logistic regression used patient-clustered robust standard errors. HbA1c was evaluated in a secondary model restricted to measurements within ±30 days of sampling. The 191 culture-positive biopsies yielded 175 episodes from 150 patients; 43 episodes (24.6%) were polymicrobial. The most frequently recovered species were
