Acute Charcot arthropathy as a first presentation of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Charcot arthropathy in people with diabetes is generally seen when diabetes has been well established, and therefore it is not routinely considered as a differential diagnosis in people presenting with erythematous and oedematous joints in primary care. We present two cases of acute Charcot arthropathy as a first presentation of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The first case describes a man in his 70s, who presented with a 5-week history of right foot pain, treated initially in the community as cellulitis. A diagnosis of acute Charcot arthropathy was made in the emergency department following review by the orthopaedic and podiatry department. The second case describes a woman in her 40s who presented with a 2-week history of ankle pain. Charcot arthropathy is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, and these cases highlight the importance of including Charcot arthropathy in the differential diagnosis when people present with atypical joint swelling.
