Survival of opening versus closing wedge high tibial osteotomy: A meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Scientific reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 52 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
This meta-analysis was designed to compare the longevity of the survivorship of opening versus closing wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTO). All studies reporting survival rates in patients who underwent open or closed wedge HTO with more than 5-year follow-up duration were included in the meta-analysis. Survival time was considered as time to conversion to TKA. Twenty three studies were included in meta-analysis, 20 of which were of level IV evidence. The pooled 5-year survival rates were 95.1% (95% CI: 93.1 to 97.1%) in open wedge HTO and 93.9% (95% CI: 93.1 to 94.6%) in closed wedge HTO. Although there was 1.2% greater survival rate in open wedge HTO than in closed wedge HTO, this difference did not reach statistical significance (P = 0.419). Pooled 10-year survival rates were 91.6% (95% CI: 88.5 to 94.8%) in open wedge HTO and 85.4% (95% CI: 84.0 to 86.7%) in closed wedge HTO, indicating that open wedge HTO had 6.2% greater survival rate 10 years after surgery than did closed wedge HTO (P = 0.002). No difference in 5-year survivorship was found between open- and closed-wedge HTO. However, the survival rate was higher in open-wedge HTOs than in closed wedge HTO at 10 years.
