Association between symptoms of bilateral numbness and/or paresthesia in the feet and postural instability in Japanese patients with diabetes.
Article in Diabetology international, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
aimThis study assessed the association between symptoms of bilateral numbness and/or paresthesia in the feet and postural instability in Japanese patients with diabetes.
methodsThis cross-sectional study included 303 patients with diabetes, aged 40-88 years, who were referred to an outpatient diabetic clinic between January and July 2013 at Shiga University of Medical Science Hospital. A posturography test was used to evaluate postural sway in patients. Indices of postural sway were the total length and the enveloped area. Analysis of covariance was used to estimate the multivariable-adjusted means of indices of postural sway according to the presence or absence of symptoms of bilateral numbness and/or paresthesia in the feet.
resultsOf 303 patients, 35 (11.6 %) had symptoms of bilateral numbness and/or paresthesia in the feet. After adjustment for age, sex, diabetic retinopathy, regular exercise, body mass index, hemoglobin A1c level, and quadriceps' strength, patients with symptoms had higher levels of postural sway length and an enveloped area in the posturography test than those without symptoms. In addition, we observed similar results when we analyzed 234 patients aged ≥60 years.
conclusionsOur findings suggest that patients who had symptoms of bilateral numbness and/or paresthesia in the feet may have more postural instability than those without symptoms.
