Adherence to wearing prescribed footwear in people at risk of diabetes-related foot ulcers.
Article in Journal of foot and ankle research, 2024. 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
introductionAdherence to wearing prescribed footwear is paramount in reducing the risk of developing diabetes-related foot ulcers, but adherence is often lower than optimal. This study aimed to investigate predictors of footwear adherence and variations in adherence and activity in people at risk of diabetes-related foot ulceration.
methodsSixty people at high foot ulcer risk were included. We measured the proportion of weight-bearing acitivity time the prescribed footwear was worn for seven days. Multiple linear regression and analysis of variance were used.
resultsMean overall adherence was 63%. Adherence was lower at home than away from home (59% vs. 74%), while activity was higher at home (2.2 vs. 1.2 h/day). Adherence was similar across activities (61%-63%). No variable predicted the overall adherence. Higher Hba1c predicted lower adherence at home (β = -0.34, p = 0.045, R
conclusionAdherence levels and predictors thereof differed between adherence at home and away from home, so we suggest to treat them as different concepts. Due to the low explained variance, future studies should focus on other predictors such as psychological variables.
