Long-Term Survivorship of Closed-Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy for Severe Knee Osteoarthritis: Outcomes After 10 to 37 Years.
Article in Orthopaedic journal of sports medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundHigh tibial osteotomy (HTO) was developed as a joint-preserving procedure to treat relatively young patients with isolated medial compartmental knee osteoarthritis (OA). Long-term survivorship after HTO is important to determine whether patients will need additional surgery. PURPOSE: To determine the long-term (>35-year) survivorship and prognostic factors for closed-wedge HTO (CWHTO) for severe medial OA. STUDY
designCase series; Level of evidence, 4.
methodsWe retrospectively evaluated patients who underwent CWHTO for severe medial knee OA between 1983 and 2009 at our institution, Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine (Nagoya, Japan). Patient demographics, follow-up period, and pre- and postoperative femoral-tibial angle (FTA) were reviewed. The patients or the relatives of the patients were interviewed by telephone to record postoperative status, including conversion to total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
resultsOf the 74 CWHTO procedures performed, we evaluated 56 procedures in 45 patients (mean age at time of surgery, 56.8 years). The mean follow-up period was 17.1 years. Nine knees (16.1%) underwent conversion to TKA. The mean time to TKA conversion was 15.6 years. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed a 10-year survival rate of 90.1%, a 15-year rate of 83.8%, a 20-year rate of 75.9%, and a 35-year rate of 75.9%. Log-rank test showed that age ≥55 years (
conclusionThe survival rate of CWHTO for severe medial knee OA was 90.1% at 10 years, 83.8% at 15 years, and 75.9% at 20 years and 35 years. Furthermore, a BMI ≥25 kg/m
