Does a Previous High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) Influence the Long-term Function or Survival of a Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA)?
Review in The archives of bone and joint surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
High tibial osteotomy (HTO) is a well established technique for the treatment of medial osteoarthritis of the knee with varus malalignment. The outcome of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) after HTO remains uncertain. The aim of this paper is to revise the literature with the aim of answering the following question: Does a previous (HTO) influence the long-term function or survival of a TKA?. The search engine was MedLine. The keywords used were: total knee arthroplasty after high tibial osteotomy. One hundred and ten articles were found. Of those, only 19 were selected and reviewed because they were strictly focused on the topic and the question of this article. The reports published so far have a low grade of evidence (levels III and IV). Most of them are prospective case series (level IV). One is a systematic review of level III studies reported in 2009. Two recent studies based in a great number of cases (registers) showed similar survival in the 2 groups: around 92% at 10 years, and 88% at 15 years. The review of the literature suggests that a previous HTO does not influence the function or survival of a TKA in the long-term.
