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

backgroundThe gold standard for treatment of early stages of Charcot foot are immobilization with a full contact plaster cast, whereby different periods and loading concepts are described in the literature.

objectivesThe etiology, disease course and preparation for an early conservative therapy are described and a key point is a full contact plaster cast.

methodsAn overview of the etiology, pathogenesis and indications for correct evaluation of the wound situation is given. The correct technique for the total cast is described and illustrated step by step with pictures.

resultsIf treatment of Charcot foot is initiated in the early stages prevention or healing of ulcers can be achieved; therefore, the correct indications and technique are necessary and the cast should be changed periodically which is a key point of the healing process. Healing results in a reduction of redness, temperature and swelling which should be measured and documented.

conclusionsTreatment of Charcot foot by full contact cast and immobilization should be initiated as soon as possible.
