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

A lot of good outcomes have been reported after opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) and closing-wedge high tibial osteotomy (CWHTO).The purpose of this study was to examine the rotational alignment after OWHTO and CWHTO performed by the same surgeon in one hospital. The sample included 30 knees from 24 patients. In all cases, the same orthopaedic surgeon performed the osteotomy surgeries using the same method. The tibial external rotation angle (TERA) was measured using the CT images of proximal tibial plateau and distal tibial malleolus from the consecutive axial CT slices of tibia. In this study, two considerations were examined. The first was the change in rotation angle, which was defined by TERA noted before and after the operation. The second was the relationship between the correction angle of the osteotomy and the rotation angle change of the distal tibia. The first was evaluated using the paired-Student's
