Sonographic features of active Charcot neuro-osteoarthropathy: A case series.

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
aimsTo describe the sonographic features of active Charcot neuro-osteoarthropathy (CNO) and assess the potential role of ultrasound in identifying those with active CNO.
methodsUsing a prospective case-series study design we assessed the sonographic features of 14 patients with a diagnosis of diabetes presenting with clinical signs and symptoms suspicious for active CNO. Patients had standard weight-bearing plain X-Ray and, where possible, MRI to evaluate the presence of active CNO. Ultrasound was performed bilaterally to assess for subcutaneous oedema, intra-articular and peri-articular colour flow. The spectral waveform morphology, peak systolic velocity and resistive index of the dorsalis pedis arteries of both feet were also documented.
resultsFollowing clinical and radiological (X-ray and MRI) assessment, 50% (n = 7) were diagnosed with active CNO. Of those with a confirmed diagnosis, ≥3 sonographic features suggestive of active CNO were observed.
conclusionsUltrasound combined with clinical presentation and medical history may support decision making around the diagnosis of CNO at the bedside.
