[Medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy].
Review in Operative Orthopadie und Traumatologie, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
objectiveReduction of the load to the medial compartment in patients with medial knee osteoarthritis and varus malalignment. Unloading of the posterolateral complex in varus deformity with complex ligamentous laxity. INDICATIONS: Medial knee osteoarthritis and varus malalignment with largely intact lateral and patellofemoral joint aspect. Complex ligament insufficiency combined with varus deformity. CONTRAINDICATIONS: Substantially impaired range of motion. SURGICAL TECHNIQUE: Medial skin incision on the proximal lower leg. Preparation of the pes anserinus. Marking of the osteotomy from the deepest point of the medial metaphysis laterally ascending. Biplane osteotomy, carefully protecting the posterior neurovascular structures, with ventral completion proximal or distal to the tibial tuberosity, depending on concomitant pathologies. Angular-stable plate fixation. POSTOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT: In general, early weight bearing is possible when angular-stable plate fixation is used. Often concomitant pathologies such as accompanying cartilage regenerative therapy necessitate longer unloading. Range of motion does not need to be restricted following stand-alone osteotomy. Orthoses are recommended regularly.
resultsUnder the correct indication, the medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (OW-HTO) technique can achieve good results with high patient satisfaction, despite a relatively high statistical complication rate, provided that a standardized surgical technique is used. There is a tendency for a poorer outcome in patients with a body mass index above 30 and higher stages of osteoarthritis.
