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
Objective: To explore the short-term effectiveness of medial open wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) combined with posterior slope angle of tibial plateau correction to treat the osteoarthritis of limited flexion knee with varus deformity. Methods: The data of 18 cases (18 knee) with osteoarthritis of limited flexion knee with varus deformity between January 2014 and July 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 6 males and 12 females with an average age of 54.9 years (range, 48-64 years). There were 8 cases of left knee and 10 cases of right knee. The varus of knee ranged from 7.45 to 15.52° (mean, 10.63°). According to Kellgren-Lawrence grading standard, there were 4 cases of grade Ⅱ and 14 of grade Ⅲ. OWHTO was used to adjust the varus deformity, and the posterior slope angle of tibial plateau was adjusted to solve the limited flexion. Results: The thickness of osteotomy was 10-19 mm (mean, 14.91 mm). The operation time was 1.2-2.0 hours (mean, 1.4 hours). All incisions healed by first intension. All patients were followed up 1.0-2.5 years, with an average of 1.5 years. At last follow-up, the range of knee flexion and Lysholm score, Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score, and International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score were significantly higher than preoperative ones, showing significant differences ( Conclusion: The OWHTO combined with posterior slope angle of tibial plateau correction can significantly improve the range of flexion and functional score in short-term.
