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

objectiveTo summarize the management principle and clinical suggestions of the osteotomy gap of opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO).

methodsThe related literature of the osteotomy gap of OWHTO in recent years was reviewed, summarized, and analyzed.

resultsDelayed union and non-union of the osteotomy gap are main complications of OWHTO. Tomofix plate, as locking steel plate, has the characteristics of angular stability and can better maintain the stability of the osteotomy gap, promote bone healing, and avoid loss of correction. There are some treatment options for the osteotomy gap site, such as, without bone, autologous bone graft, allogeneic bone graft, bone substitute materials graft, and augment factor graft to enhance bone healing. When the osteotomy gap is less than 10 mm, it achieves a good outcome without bone graft. For the obesity, lateral hinge fracture, large osteotomy gap, or correction angle more than 10°, the bone graft should be considered. In cases whose osteotomy gap is nonunion or delayed union, the autologous bone graft is still the gold standard. When the osteotomy gap repaired with the allogeneic bone graft, it is better to choose fragmented cancellous or wedge-shaped cancellous bone, combining with the locking plate technology, also can achieve better bone union. The bone substitute material of calcium-phosphorus is used in the osteotomy gap, which has the characteristics of excellent bone conduction, good biocompatibility, and resorption, combining with the locking plate technology, which can also achieve better bone union in the osteotomy gap. The augment factors enhance the bone healing of the osteotomy gap of OWHTO is still questionable. The bone union of the osteotomy gap is also related to the size of the osteotomy gap and whether the lateral hinge is broken or not.

conclusionNo matter what type of materials for the osteotomy gap, OWHTO can improve the function and relieve pain for knee osteoarthritis. More randomized controlled trials are needed to provide evidence for clinical decision to determine which treatment option is better for the osteotomy gap of OWHTO.
