A Rare Complication of Diabetes Mellitus: Bruns-Garland Syndrome (Diabetic Amyotrophy).
Article in Journal of clinical practice and research, 2023. 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
Background: Diabetic amyotrophy, also known as diabetic proximal neuropathy, is a rare neuropathic complication of diabetes mellitus. It is most commonly characterized by severe pain in the hip and thigh, followed by asymmetric weakness and wasting of the proximal muscles of the lower limbs. Case Report: This paper presents the case of a 68-year-old man with an 8-month history of poorly controlled Type-2 diabetes mellitus who developed progressive asymmetrical weakness and atrophy in his left thigh. After a physical examination, magnetic resonance imaging, and electrophysiological studies, diabetic amyotrophy was diagnosed. Conclusion: Physicians should consider the possibility of diabetic amyotrophy in patients with diabetes mellitus who exhibit primary involvement of proximal muscles of the lower limbs, marked by pain, weakness, and atrophy.
