Electrodiagnostic evidence of nerve regeneration in patients with diabetic Charcot foot treated with proximal tibial cortex transverse distraction.

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
objectivesThe aim of this study was to investigate whether proximal tibial cortex transverse distraction (PTCTD) could result in nerve regeneration in diabetic Charcot foot via electromyography (EMG). PATIENTS AND
methodsBetween March 2015 and June 2021, a total of six patients (4 males, 2 females; mean age: 58.8±15.5 years; range, 32 to 75 years) with diabetic Charcot foot treated with PTCTD were retrospectively analyzed. Electromyography was performed preoperatively and six months postoperatively to evaluate nerve regeneration. Healing time, wound area and limb salvage rates were also recorded.
resultsThe mean time to wound healing in all patients was 155.17±19.13 (range, 135 to 189) days. The mean wound area was 4.44±2.58 (range, 2.52 to 9.52) cm
conclusionOur results indicate that nerve regeneration can be confirmed by EMG after PTCTD in patients with diabetic Charcot foot. However, further multi-center, large-scale, long-term prospective studies are needed to draw more reliable conclusions on this subject.
