Charcot Neuroarthropathy of the Foot and Ankle in the Acute Setting: An Illustrative Case Report and Targeted Review.
Review in The western journal of emergency medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Charcot neuroarthropathy (CN) is a rare but serious sequela of diabetes and other diseases that cause peripheral neuropathy. It is most commonly characterized by degeneration of the foot and/or ankle joints leading to progressive deformity and altered weight-bearing. If left untreated, the deformities of CN lead to ulceration, infection, amputation, and even death. Because of the associated peripheral neuropathy and proprioception deficits that accompany CN, patients typically do not perceive the onset of joint destruction. Moreover, in the hands of the untrained clinician, the initial presentation of CN can easily be mistaken for infection, osteoarthritis, gout, or inflammatory arthropathy. Misdiagnosis can lead to the aforementioned serious sequelae of CN. Thus, an early accurate diagnosis and off-loading of the involved extremity, followed by prompt referral to a specialist trained in the care of CN are crucial to prevent the late-term sequelae of the disease. The purpose of this article was to create an opportunity for enhanced understanding between orthopedic surgeons and emergency physicians, to improve patient care through the optimization of diagnosis and early management of CN in the emergent setting.
