1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

AIMS/

introductionPatients with a healed diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) have a 40% risk of ulcer recurrence within a year. New and effective measures to prevent DFU recurrence are essential. We aimed to highlight emerging trends and future research opportunities in the use of plantar pressure measurement to prevent DFU recurrence. MATERIALS AND

methodsOur scoping review protocol was drafted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis - Scoping Review protocol. Peer-reviewed, English-language papers were included that addressed both plantar pressure measurement and diabetic foot disease, either as primary studies that have advanced the field or as review papers that provide summaries and/or opinion on the field as a whole, as well as specific papers that provide guidelines for future research and advancement in the field.

resultsA total of 24 eligible publications were identified in a literature search using PubMed. A further 36 eligible studies were included after searching the references sections of these publications, leaving a total of 60 publications included in this scoping review.

conclusionsPlantar pressure measurement can and will play a major role in the prevention of DFU. There is already a strong, albeit limited, evidence base in place to prove its benefit in reducing DFU recurrence. More research is required in larger populations, using remote monitoring in real-world settings, and with improved technology.
