Changes in patellar height and posterior tibial slope angle following uniplanar medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy using a novel wedge-shaped spacer implanation concurrent with proximal partial fibulectomy.

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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to evaluate changes of patellar height and posterior tibial slope angle following uniplanar medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy using a novel wedge-shaped spacer implanation concurrent with proximal partial fibulectomy.
methodsAll patients who underwent uniplanar medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy using a novel wedge-shaped spacer implanation concurrent with proximal partial fibulectomy between January 2017 and February 2019 were included and assessed retrospectively. Radiological assessment was made in terms of the changes in patellar height and posterior tibial slope angle between pre-operative and post-operative radiographs.
resultsThirty-five patients (9 males and 26 females) with a mean age of 57.3 years (range 50.8-64.2 years) were enrolled in this study protocol and demonstrated decreased posterior tibial slope angle post-operatively (9.7° ± 2.5° pre-operatively and 7.3° ± 1.8° post-operatively, P < 0.001). Patellar height was unchanged significantly post-operatively (Caton-Deschamps: 0.83 ± 0.12 pre-operatively and 0.82 ± 0.09 post-operatively, P > 0.05).
conclusionsUniplanar medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy using a novel wedge-shaped spacer implanation concurrent with proximal partial fibulectomy can decrease posterior tibial slope and maintain the patellar height.
