Charcot Neuroarthropathy: Current Surgical Management and Update. A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Frontiers in surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background: Charcot neuroarthropathy of the ankle and the hindfoot is a complex clinical entity with a high risk of amputation. Charcot neuroarthropathy limb reconstruction has been proposed as a limb-salvaging procedure. However, there was a lack of information on the various available reconstruction methods, including the outcomes and complications. The present study aimed to evaluate the current literature and update on the trends regarding the surgical management of Charcot neuroarthropathy of the ankle and the hindfoot. Methods: All data published from January 2010 to January 2020 that investigated the methods of fixation and their respective outcomes for the surgical reconstruction in Charcot neuroarthropathy were analyzed. The union rate, amputation rates, and complications associated with these techniques were taken for statistical analysis. Results: A total of 16 studies fit the inclusion criteria of this study, with four Level-III studies and 12 Level-IV studies were included. Ten studies utilized internal fixation only; five used a combination of internal fixation and circular external fixator, whereby there are three comparative studies between internal and external fixations, and two studies applied combined technique of internal and external fixations (hybrid fixation). One study describes the usage of circular external fixation only. Conclusions: The use of retrograde intramedullary nail as a treatment of choice in the reconstruction of Charcot neuroarthropathy ankle is recommended before an ulcer occurrence. Hydroxyapatite (HA)- coated screws are recommended for the locking mechanism to prevent migration in Charcot neuroarthropathy due to poor bony quality. Hybrid fixation is recommended for reconstruction in a condition of ulceration and more complex deformity as it provides a higher rate of limb salvage with less soft tissue irritation.
