Towards planning of osteotomy around the knee with quantitative inclusion of the adduction moment: a biomechanical approach.
Article in Journal of experimental orthopaedics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 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
purposeDespite practised for decades, the planning of osteotomy around the knee, commonly using the Mikulicz-Line, is only empirically based, clinical outcome inconsistent and the target angle still controversial. A better target than the angle of frontal-plane static leg alignment might be the external frontal-plane lever arm (EFL) of the knee adduction moment. Hypothetically assessable from frontal-plane-radiograph skeleton dimensions, it might depend on the leg-alignment angle, the hip-centre-to-hip-centre distance, the femur- and tibia-length.
methodsThe target EFL to achieve a medial compartment force ratio of 50% during level-walking was identified by relating in-vivo-measurement data of knee-internal loads from nine subjects with instrumented prostheses to the same subjects' EFLs computed from frontal-plane skeleton dimensions. Adduction moments derived from these calculated EFLs were compared to the subjects' adduction moments measured during gait analysis.
resultsHighly significant relationships (0.88 ≤ R
conclusionOsteotomy outcome might be improved by planning re-alignment based on the provided formulas exploiting full-leg-radiograph skeleton dimensions.
