Safety and Efficacy of Plantar Exostectomies for the Management of Diabetic Charcot Midfoot Deformity: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in The international journal of lower extremity wounds, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Management of residual deformity in patients with Charcot Neuro-osteoarthropathy represents a therapeutic challenge. The midfoot is the most frequently affected area, leading to the typical rocker-bottom deformity. Surgical exostectomy in these areas of bony prominences offers a non-reconstructive method to remove pressure and allow ulcers to heal or prevent their development when conservative measures fail. This review includes a total of 11 studies, aimed to assess the outcome of exostectomies in the prevention and recurrence of ulcers under the bony prominence in patients with Charcot midfoot and its main complications. Exostectomy was successful in 60% of cases after the first surgery and in 90.7% of cases in total. The procedure, when done below the lateral column, seems to have a higher number of diverse complications. This fact must be taken into account when performing this procedure.
