Thermography Research in Diabetic Foot: Insights From a Scopus-Based Bibliometric Study.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Diabetic foot problems are among the most debilitating complications of diabetes mellitus. These problems incur significant economic costs and reduce quality of life. The integration of thermography technology in the screening and management of diabetic foot problems has been proven to be successful in recent years. By detecting changes in temperature, thermography helps identify early infections and assists in patient monitoring. These early successes have inspired more research and publications in this field. To date, a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of thermography-related research on diabetic foot using the Scopus database has not been conducted. This bibliometric analysis aims to fill this gap by reviewing the Scopus database from its inception until 2023 to examine the literature on thermography-related research on diabetic foot. A total of 342 articles met the selection criteria and were included in this analysis. The number of articles in this field remained low until the 2010s, when there was a sudden surge of interest that prompted numerous publications. Authors from the USA contributed the highest number of articles and had the greatest scholarly impact in this field. Despite the major contribution from the USA, there were numerous collaborations between various countries, underscoring the importance of international collaboration in advancing research and exchanging knowledge.
