Medial compartment osteoarthritis of the knee: a review of surgical options.
Review in EFORT open reviews, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07439315 (The Effect of a Novel Joint Distraction Knee Orthosis for Treating Medial Knee Osteoarthritis), which is not on this map. Cited by 29 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.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis of the medial compartment, where the lateral compartment and patella-femoral joint are relatively spared, is a common orthopaedic presentation.Most frequently, the treatment of choice would be a total knee replacement, which involves removing healthy joint surfaces in such patients.Arthroscopic debridement in the osteoarthritic knee has fallen out of favour due to poor clinical results.A trend has developed towards less invasive surgery with uni-compartmental knee replacement (UKR) and high tibial osteotomy (HTO) gaining increasing popularity.Surgeons differ in their relative indications and contraindications to performing these procedures.Total knee replacement (TKR) continues to have the lowest overall revision rate of the available options.Growing evidence demonstrates more favourable patient-reported outcome measures in UKR and HTO patients, compared to TKR.Knee joint distraction (KJD) has been demonstrated as an alternative method of treatment in such patients.
