Clinical Outcomes and Complications During and After Medial Open-Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy Using a Locking Plate: A 3- to 7-Year Follow-up Study.
Article in Orthopaedic journal of sports medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundOutcomes and complications at mid- or long-term follow-up after medial open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) with the TomoFix locking plate have not been fully evaluated. PURPOSE: To evaluate the complications and midterm clinical outcomes after MOWHTO using a TomoFix. STUDY
designCase series; Level of evidence, 4.
methodsEnrolled in this study were 80 patients (85 knees) who underwent MOWHTO with the TomoFix locking plate between 2009 and 2013. There were 66 women and 14 men, with a mean age of 61.5 years at the time of surgery. The diagnosis was medial osteoarthritis in 76 knees and spontaneous osteonecrosis of the knee in 9 knees. Metal removal and second-look arthroscopy were performed in all cases. Clinical and radiological examinations were performed at final follow-up after surgery (mean, 4.5 years).
resultsThe mean Japanese Orthopaedic Association score and Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score improved significantly from pre- to postoperatively (
conclusionPostoperative outcome scores indicated significant improvement after MOWHTO, although the cumulative rate of all complications was 41.2% and the rate of major complications was 24.7%. These results indicate that MOWHTO with the TomoFix is a technically demanding procedure. Careful preoperative planning and meticulous surgical technique are needed to decrease the incidence of complications associated with MOWHTO.
