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 investigate the distribution of pathogenic microorganisms in diabetic foot infections (DFIs) and develop a nomogram to predict DFIs. It included 136 diabetic foot (DF) patients hospitalized at Henan University Huaihe Hospital from November 2020 to November 2024, with 86 (63.23%) having confirmed infections. Infections were predominantly caused by Gram-positive cocci (54.65%) and Gram-negative bacilli (43.02%). The nomogram incorporated age, C-reactive protein (CRP), Wagner grade, lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD), and peripheral neuropathy (PN). The predictive model exhibited robust discriminatory capacity, achieving an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.803 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.735-0.878) with internal cross-validation stability (AUC = 0.804). Goodness-of-fit was confirmed by the Hosmer-Lemeshow test (χ
