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

Medial open wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) is usually performed with proximal tuberosity osteotomy or setting the osteotomy line proximal to the tuberosity. However, OWHTO can result in patellofemoral complications due to postoperative patella infera. A new OWHTO technique, biplanar osteotomy with a distal tuberosity osteotomy, was reported in 2004 to prevent postoperative patella infera. To ensure that the 2 osteotomy lines maintain perpendicular, we describe the OWHTO procedure with a distal tuberosity osteotomy technique using a TriS Medial HTO Plate System (Olympus Terumo Biomaterials Corp., Tokyo, Japan) and a right angle guide we developed. In this Technical Note, we describe the procedure and advantages, risks, and limitations, as well as the pearls and pitfalls based on our experience.
