Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes of Toe Amputation Among Sudanese Diabetic Patients in Jabir Abu-Eliz Diabetic Centre at Khartoum, 2021: A Cross Sectional Study.
Article in Health science reports, 2026. 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: Diabetes mellitus (DM) causes a great majority of non-traumatic major and minor amputations worldwide; up till now, this condition in developing countries, particularly those in sub-Saharan Africa, including Sudan, is underestimated. Aim: To determine the indications and outcomes of toe amputation among T2DM patients. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study enrolled 100 patients with T2DM and DFU who had undergone toe amputation at Jabir Abu-Eliz Diabetic Centre during the period from January to December 2021. Data regarding demographics, clinical characteristics, and outcomes were collected. SPSS v 26.0 software was used to analyze the data. Results: Among 100 patients, 63 (63%) were males, and 37 (37%) were females. The mean age was 61.3 ± 12.1 years. Wet gangrene was the main etiology (41%), and most of the cases underwent ray amputation (85%). Complete healing was reported in 65 (65%) patients, re-ulceration in 17 (17%), re-amputation in 9 (9%), and mortality in 9 (9%) patients. Re-ulceration and death were common among the patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) ( Conclusion: Toe amputation was associated with males, older, hypertension, oral antidiabetic agents, poor glycemic control, and PAD. The majority of the cases had complete healing. Coexistence of PAD, longer DM duration above 10 years, and smoking were significantly correlated with worse outcomes.
