Idiopathic Charcot Arthropathy of the Knee Presenting as a Bicondylar Tibial Plateau Fracture.
Article in Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. Global research & reviews, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Charcot arthropathy is an infrequent condition that primarily involves the foot and ankle; rarely, it has been reported to affect the knee. Risk factors for Charcot arthropathy are well described with diabetes being the most common cause. Idiopathic Charcot arthropathy without a secondary etiology is extremely rare, with only a few cases described involving the foot and shoulder. Clinically, idiopathic Charcot arthropathy presents a notable challenge because delayed diagnosis can lead to surgical complications and advancement of joint destruction. We report idiopathic Charcot arthropathy of the knee presenting as a bicondylar tibial plateau fracture successfully managed with total knee arthroplasty after failed open reduction internal fixation. We diagnosed the patient when the clinical/surgical presentation was indicative of Charcot arthropathy and after excluding all other diagnoses. This previously unreported case describes the complexity of idiopathic Charcot arthropathy with subsequent fractures and highlights the importance of patient history, presentation, and surgical intervention.
