Quantitative thermal indices in infrared imaging as auxiliary tool in the diagnosis of peripheral artery disease and diabetic peripheral neuropathy among patients with type 2 diabetes.
Article in Oxford medical case reports, 2026. 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
Biomedical thermography, when used to monitor changes in metabolic heat released from human legs, allows the disclosure of metabolic deficiencies associated with asymmetric alterations in the presence of long-term type 2 diabetes mellitus. In this case series a clinical evaluation was performed in 10 patients clinically diagnosed with a time evolution of type 2 diabetes mellitus for more than 5 years: 5 males (62 ± 10 years) and 5 females (56 ± 10 years). The clinical examination relied on infrared thermography as the only auxiliary imaging technique to diagnose diabetic peripheral neuropathy and peripheral arterial disease. The clinical evaluation indicates 100% agreement with the image analysis according to the quantitative thermal indices: asymmetry and thermal response index (ATR) and the thermal response index (TRI). These findings indicate that the proposed image analysis is a useful and adaptable tool for detecting subtle clinical signs and supporting timely diagnostic and therapeutic decisions.
