Is overcorrection preferable for repair of degenerated articular cartilage after open-wedge high tibial osteotomy?

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
purposeThis study was performed to determine whether the overcorrected knee could obtain a higher ratio of articular cartilage repair in the medial compartment of the femorotibial joint after open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTO). The hypothesis of the study was that overcorrected knees had a higher ratio of articular cartilage repair than moderately corrected knees.
methodsA total of 71 knees that underwent arthroscopy to evaluate the articular cartilage during open-wedge HTO and second-look arthroscopy were reviewed. The articular cartilage was classified as no repair or repair according to Koshino et al. Overcorrection was defined as knees with femorotibial angle ≤166°.
resultsSecond-look arthroscopy was performed 410 ± 64 days after HTO. Based on arthroscopic observations, 45 knees (63.4 %) showed no repair and 26 knees (36.6 %) showed repair. In terms of the ratio of cartilage repair, there was no difference between overcorrected knees with mean femorotibial angle of 165° ± 1° and moderately corrected knees with mean femorotibial angle of 170° ± 2° (n.s.).
conclusionsNo significant differences were found in the ratio of cartilage repair between overcorrected and moderately corrected knees. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Retrospective comparative study, Level III.
