[Importance of osteotomy around to the knee for medial gonarthritis. Indications, technique and results].
Article in Der Orthopade, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundFrontal plane deformities result in significant overload of the (ipsilateral) affected compartment of the knee and in rapid progression of osteoarthritis. The indication for osteotomy around the knee is related mainly to the constitutional metaphyseal deformity in the frontal plane.
methodsExact analysis and planning based on a long-leg standing radiograph is mandatory. Valgus high tibial osteotomy can be performed safely and atraumatically by biplanar open-wedge osteotomy from medial using a specific plate-fixator. A new technique of closed wedge biplanar distal femur osteotomy with fixation by a new plate fixator is also presented.
resultsOur multicenter follow-up study with 533 patients revealed good functional outcome scores with a small complication rate. The subjective ratings were better than in comparable groups with unicondylar knee replacement and with total knee arthroplasty. Metaanalysis from the literature have proven good long-term results of osteotomy around the knee.
conclusionOsteotomy around the knee results in good middle-term and long-term results if the indication criteria are respected and a specific surgical technique is used.
