An Evaluation of the Effect of Dimple Insoles on Foot Temperature in Diabetic Patients.

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
objectiveInsoles play a crucial role in foot comfort, with their effect on foot temperature being a key factor. This study aims to evaluate and compare the effect of walking with two different insole types-dimple insoles versus a conventional insole-on foot temperature changes in patients with diabetic neuropathy.
methodsThermal imaging was used to measure the foot temperature of nine participants immediately before and after walking 250 m in each insole. Temperature variations were analyzed for the whole foot across four specific regions to assess and compare the effect of each insole on foot temperature.
resultsThe Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test revealed that contralateral temperature differences between the left and right feet after walking (∆TAfter) were significantly (p<0.05) lower in dimple insoles compared to the conventional insoles. This effect was particularly strong in the midfoot and toe regions.
conclusionsThe results indicate that insole type can influence foot contralateral temperature differences after walking. These findings provide valuable insights for selecting insoles based on thermal data and can have implications in improving patient outcomes.
