Influence of Diabetic Distal Symmetric Polyneuropathy on the Performance of the Musculoskeletal System of Lower Leg and Foot.
Article in Medical archives (Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina), 2019. 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
introductionComplications on the lower extremities are a major cause of morbidity, disability, emotional and physical suffering in people with diabetes. Diabetic neuropathy (DN) is the most frequent complication of both types of diabetes. Lack of performance of the musculoskeletal system of lower leg and foot can results in high focal plantar pressures with increased ulceration risk in patients with neuropathy.
aimTo determine the impact of the severity of distal symmetric polyneuropathy (DSPN) on the foot and ankle muscle strength and the range of motion (ROM) at ankle joint (AJ), subtalar joint (SJ) and first metatarsophalangeal joint (I MTP).
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 100 diabetic patients. The level of DSPN was assessed using the Neuropathy Disability Score. Function of ten foot and ankle muscles has been evaluated by manual muscle testing. Muscle strength was scored by semiquantitative grading system used in the Michigan Diabetic Neuropathy Score. ROM at the AJ, SJ and I MTP was measured with goniometer.
resultsThe average patients age was 61.91±10.74 and diabetes duration 12.25±8.60 years. DSPN was present in 45% of patients. The average strength of foot and ankle muscles expressed by muscle score was 11.56±5.08. The average ROM at AJ was 47.85°, at SJ 35.10° and at I MTP 72.70°. Correlations between the severity of the DSPN and muscle function, ROM at AJ, SJ and I MTP were statistically significant. ROM at SJ and I MTP declines significantly with progression of neuropathy but not significant at AJ.
conclusionThe severity of DSPN is significantly associated with foot and ankle muscle weakness and ROM at the SJ and the I MTP, but not significantly with the ROM at the AJ.
