Diabetic Mononeuropathies and Diabetic Amyotrophy.
Review in Diabetes therapy : research, treatment and education of diabetes and related disorders, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
This brief review describes the etiology, pathophysiology, clinical features, therapy and prognosis of the diabetic mononeuropathies and diabetic amyotrophy and neuropathic cachexia. Mononeuropathies include cranial neuropathies, of which the oculomotor nerve is most commonly affected, and are thought to be due to microvascular occlusion. Peripherally, entrapment neuropathies occur in both the upper and lower limbs and are due to compression of an already damaged nerve in anatomically restricted channels. Diabetic radiculopathies occur in the dermatones of the thorax and abdomen, mimicking intraabdominal or intrathoracic pathology. I also describe the features of the rare but very distinctive diabetic amyotrophy and neuropathic cachexia. Overall, the prognosis from these conditions is excellent with residual pain or muscle weakness being rare with the exception of diabetic amyotrophy where the prognosis is dependent upon cooperation with intensive rehabilitation. Therapies include "watchful waiting," physical therapy and rarely surgical intervention, which may be urgently needed for nerve decompression and reversal of motor defects.
