The role of diffusion-weighted imaging and dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging for the diagnosis of diabetic foot osteomyelitis: a preliminary report.
Article in Polish journal of radiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Purpose: To assess the role of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) and diffusionweighted imaging (DWI) in diagnosing diabetic foot osteomyelitis (DFO). Material and methods: Twenty-five participants with suspected osteomyelitis were included, who underwent MRI including DCE-MRI and DWI sequences. It was subsequently followed by bone biopsy and microbiological analysis (gold standard). The participants were divided into 2 groups based on biopsy results: DFO-positive or DFO-negative. The semi-quantitative DCE-MRI parameters (SI Results: Out of the 25 cases, 19 were DFO-positive and 6 were DFO-negative on bone biopsy. The SI Conclusions: DWI and DCE-MRI provide non-invasive sequences, which can help to increase the overall specificity and sensitivity of conventional MRI for the diagnosis of osteomyelitis, differentiating it from acute Charcot's arthropathy.
