Role of high tibial osteotomy in medial compartment osteoarthritis of the knee: Indications, surgical technique and outcomes.
Review in Journal of clinical orthopaedics and trauma, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disorder worldwide. In particular, primary knee OA often presents with a varus malalignment. This increases the loads going through the medial compartment resulting in cartilage degeneration and symptomatic arthritis. High tibial osteotomy (HTO) is the workhorse surgical procedure for treating medial knee OA. When performed precisely in the hands of an experienced surgeon, HTO can delay or avoid knee arthroplasty. Of note, outcomes of knee arthroplasty are at best unpredictable in patients of younger age. Hence, there is a growing need for joint preservation procedures for younger patients presenting with knee OA, of which HTO is one. Through this article, the authors of whom all are joint preservation surgeons with a special interest in osteotomy hope to share from their experience as well as the available literature on the indications, perioperative planning, surgical technique, outcomes as well as pearls and pitfalls of HTO.
