Rate of Developing Charcot Arthropathy Following Ankle Injuries in Patients with Diabetes: A Two-Year Follow-up.
Article in Orthopedic reviews, 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
Background: Charcot arthropathy is an ankle injury complication most commonly seen in patients with diabetes. This study aimed to assess Charcot arthropathy prevalence and its associated risk factors among patients with diabetes with ankle injuries. Methods: Data were collected from the medical records of patients with diabetes with ankle injuries managed at King Abdulaziz Medical City, Riyadh, from April 2015 to April 2020. Recorded data included baseline demographic and clinical characteristics, management approaches, and complications. Results: In total, 314 patients with diabetes with ankle injuries were included. Most patients were female (n = 192, 61.1%), with an average age of 55.67 years old. The mean body mass index was 32.91 kg/m2. The prevalence of Charcot arthropathy was 4.1%. HbA1C levels (odds ratio = 1.75, p = 0.023) and co-existing injury complications (odds ratio = 105.408, p = 0.001) were found to be significant predictors of Charcot arthropathy. The mean time for developing Charcot after an ankle injury was 10.62 months. Of the 317 injured ankles, most were managed non-operatively (n = 257, 81.1%), while only 60 (18.9) were managed operatively. Conclusion: High HbA1c levels and co-existing injuries were significant predictors of Charcot arthropathy and showed strong associations with its development in patients with diabetes with ankle injuries.
