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
Allogenous bone chips and hydroxyapatite (HA) chips have been known as good options for filling an inevitable void after open wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO). However, there are concerns regarding bone healing after the use of these grafts. The purpose of this study was to compare the bone healing represented by the osteoconductivity and absorbability between allogenous bone chips and HA chips in OWHTO. The outcomes of bone healing of 53 patients who received an allogenous bone chip graft and 41 patients who received an HA chip graft were retrospectively evaluated, and the results were compared between the two groups. Osteoconductivity and absorbability were serially evaluated for the assessment of bone healing at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year postoperatively. The osteoconductivity of the allogenous bone chips was greater than that of the HA chips at 6 weeks postoperatively (p < 0.05). However, there were no statistically significant differences from 3 months to 1 year postoperatively. The absorbability showed no statistically significant differences 6 weeks and 3 months after OWHTO; however, the allogenous bone chip group showed a greater absorbability at 6 months and 1 year postoperatively (42.8 ± 14.2 vs. 34.6 ± 13.8, p = 0.006 at 6 months postoperatively; 54.6 ± 14.4 vs. 43.0 ± 14.0, p < 0.001 at 1 year postoperatively). However, the two graft materials showed similar results of HKA angle, WBL ratio, posterior tibial slope.
