Overweight patients benefit from high tibial osteotomy to the same extent as patients with normal weights but show inferior mid-term results.
Article in Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy : official journal of the ESSKA, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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 prospective study was to analyze the impact of obesity on the clinical and radiological outcomes 6 years after open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTO).
methodsA total of 120 prospectively recorded patients with medial compartment osteoarthritis underwent open-wedge HTO between 2008 and 2011. The study cohort was frequently examined over a minimum of a 6-year follow-up. The cohort was divided into three groups according to body mass index (BMI): normal weight patients (BMI < 25 kg/m
resultsFrom 120 patients, 85 were followed-up over a 6.7-year period on average (6-11.8 years) after HTO. The mean BMI was 28.6 ± 4.6 kg/m
conclusionIn terms of clinical outcome and health-related quality of life, overweight patients may receive a benefit from open-wedge HTO to the same extent as patients with normal weights and show similar complication rates. However, they have inferior preoperative clinical and functional results and mid-term results after open-wedge HTO compared to patients with normal weights. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III.
