ReviewJournal of clinical orthopaedics and trauma
A critical appraisal of medial open wedge high tibial osteotomy for knee osteoarthritis.
Review in Journal of clinical orthopaedics and trauma. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 9 papers.
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
A medial open wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) is an effective surgical procedure to correct varus deformity related to Knee Osteoarthritis. It consistently provides relief in knee pain and improves knee function. This technique is recommended for active, middle and old aged individuals with an isolated medial compartment knee OA. The MOWHTO scores several advantages over lateral closed wedge osteotomy and hence is now a preferred choice of HTO.
