1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundHigh tibial osteotomy (HTO) is a recommended treatment for medial compartment knee osteoarthritis. Newer cartilage regenerative procedures may add benefits to the results of HTO. In this prospective study we have investigated the safety and also results of HTO associated with autologous bone marrow derived cells (BMDC) implantation in relatively young and middle aged active individuals with early osteoarthritis of the knee.

methodsA total of 24 patients (mean age of 47.9 years) with varus knee and symptomatic medial compartment osteoarthritis were treated with medial opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy in conjunction with implantation of bone marrow derived cells into the chondral lesions. The clinical outcomes were assessed by IKDC, KOOS, VAS, and Tegner scores. The radiographic studies were performed preoperatively and at follow-ups.

resultsNo major complications were seen during the operations and postoperative follow-ups. All clinical scores were significantly improved for the IKDC score (from 32.7±15 to 64±21) (

conclusionHTO in conjunction with BMDC implantation is a safe and feasible treatment and is associated with good results in short term follow up for early medial compartment osteoarthritis in varus knees.
