An novel and alternative treatment method for large heel ulceration in diabetic patients: Proximal tibial cortex transverse distraction.
Article in International wound journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Heel ulceration in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major clinical challenge, manifesting with a protracted and uncertain healing process. The prefer treatment of heel ulceration is still controversial. This study aims at describing a newly alternative surgical method with the proximal transverse tibial bone transport technique, as an attempt to achieve wound healing in diabetic patients with large heel ulceration. Retrospective clinical study. A total of 21 diabetic patients with large heel ulceration were enrolled and followed up at least 6 months. The following parameters were assessed: Visual analogue scale (VAS), healing time, ulcer healing rate, ulcer recurrence rate and limb salvage rate. All patients got fully follow-up and achieved wound healing uneventfully. Eighteen patients returned to independent walking without any helper while three patients walked using a crutch. Limb salvage was achieved in all 21 patients (100%). The mean wound area was 67.43 ± 13.31 cm
