Bilateral Thigh Myonecrosis in Diabetes: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Diabetic myonecrosis is an uncommon complication of poorly controlled diabetes mellitus. Usually, patients present with acute painful swelling of the affected muscles, mostly the quadriceps muscle of the thigh. We present the case of a 57-year-old male with type 2 diabetes mellitus who presented with progressive bilateral thigh pain and reduced movement. Blood results indicated slightly elevated creatine kinase, C-reactive protein, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate levels, and poor diabetes control. Magnetic resonance imaging showed features suggestive of myonecrosis. A muscle biopsy demonstrated active myofiber necrosis consistent with diabetic myonecrosis. The patient's symptoms improved after 11 days of treatment with intravenous fluids, painkillers, glycemic control, and physical therapy. This will highlight the importance of suspecting diabetic myonecrosis in patients presenting with bilateral acute swollen leg pain with a background of uncontrolled diabetes mellitus.
