1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundFoot temperature monitoring can prevent diabetic foot ulceration (DFU). This technical report determined the validity of the Feetsee device (InvCam) in measuring temperature differences between feet compared with current reference standard: FlirA615, with Food and Drug Administration-approved TotalVision software (RefCam).

methodsMeasurements were taken in 107 participants (mean age: 48 years; 49% female) across three groups: people with diabetes and active foot ulcer (DFU, n = 38; 57 ± 12.2 years), diabetes without ulcers (diabetes mellitus DM, n = 35; 51.5 ± 16.3 years), and healthy young controls without diabetes (C, n = 34; 34.2 ± 10.7 years).

resultsStrong agreement was shown in foot temperature measurements between the devices with no systematic bias, an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.95 and typical error of 0.31 deg.

conclusionsThe InvCam system demonstrated validity for foot temperature measurement compared with the current reference standard and offers the advantage over current systems of being non-contact, eliminating the risk of infection and cross-contamination.
