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

objectivesHigh tibial osteotomy is an established surgical procedure for treatment of mal-aligned Varus knees due to medial compartment knee osteoarthritis. Aims are to evaluate whether post-operative axial alignment achieves good long-term results. METHODS AND

resultsLiterature search done and studies with a follow up period of 2 or more years were included. The mean postoperative mechanical axis varied widely from 3 to 16° with significant differences between the studies.

conclusionThe results suggested that medial knee osteoarthritis can be treated successfully with HTO. The post-operative valgus angle should be between 3 and 13° of valgus to achieve good long-term results.
