Health-related quality of life after open-wedge high tibial osteotomy.
Article in Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy : official journal of the ESSKA, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 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
purpose(1) To monitor longitudinal changes in health-related quality of life (HRQOL), pain, knee function, and return to work (RtW) following high tibial osteotomy (HTO) for medial compartment osteoarthritis (OA), and (2) to investigate the influences of psychopathological comorbidities on preoperative impairment and post-operative course.
methodsSixty-four patients were prospectively followed for 24 months after HTO to determine HRQOL, pain, functional outcome, and RtW. Psychopathological comorbidities (e.g. depression) were determined preoperatively. Patients with no psychological distress (ND) were compared to patients with psychological distress (PD) in order to investigate the influence of psychopathological comorbidities on outcome.
resultsThere was a significant increase in HRQOL and decrease in pain from 6 month follow-up on. Functional outcomes increased significantly from 12 month follow-up on. In general, there was a steady state of outcomes from 6- to 12-month follow-up on. At final follow-up, 90 % returned to their previous occupation without limitations. Mental component summary (MCS) and functional outcome showed a positive correlation with RtW, while depression had a negative one. A significantly inferior outcome of group PD versus ND was observed at baseline and early follow-up. RtW was significantly prolonged in group PD (8.9 ± 7.6 vs. 3.9 ± 3 months; p < 0.001). At final follow-up, both groups presented with comparable outcomes.
conclusionHTO for medial compartment OA significantly improves HRQOL, pain, and knee function. Time to RtW is high and critically depends on PD. Further, extend of preoperative impairments, an initially inferior course, and inferior MCS outcome was influenced by PD. However, otherwise no significant differences were observed between groups PD and ND at final follow-up. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Prospective case series, II.
