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

Inflammation-mediated foot osteopenia may play a pivotal role in the etiogenesis, pathogenesis, and therapeutic outcomes in individuals with diabetes mellitus (DM), peripheral neuropathy (PN), and Charcot neuroarthropathy (CN). Our objective was to establish a volumetric quantitative computed tomography-derived foot bone measurement as a candidate prognostic imaging marker to identify individuals with DMPN who were at risk of developing CN. We studied 3 groups: 16 young controls (27 ± 5 years), 20 with DMPN (57 ± 11 years), and 20 with DMPN and CN (55 ± 9 years). Computed tomography image analysis was used to measure metatarsal and tarsal bone mineral density in both feet. The mean of 12 right (7 tarsals and 5 metatarsals) and 12 left foot bone mineral densities, maximum percent difference in bone mineral density between paired bones of the right and the left feet, and the mean difference of the 12 right and the 12 left bone mineral density measurements were used as input variables in different classification analysis methods to determine the best classifier. Classification tree analysis produced no misclassification of the young controls and individuals with DMPN and CN. The tree classifier found 7 of 20 (35%) individuals with DMPN to be classified as CN (1 participant developed CN during follow-up) and 13 (65%) to be classified as healthy. These results indicate that a decision tree employing 3 measurements derived from volumetric quantitative computed tomography foot bone mineral density defines a candidate prognostic imaging marker to identify individuals with diabetes and PN who are at risk of developing CN.
