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

backgroundGood-to-excellent midterm results after high tibial osteotomy (HTO) to treat medial compartment cartilage defects or osteoarthritis (OA) have been published, but little is known about long-term survival rates in terms of conversion to total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using angular stable internal plate fixation. PURPOSE: To determine TKA-free survival rates and functional and radiological outcomes at 10 years after HTO. A subgroup analysis of patients who underwent combined HTO and autologous cartilage implantation (ACI) was also performed. STUDY

designCase series; Level of evidence, 4.

methodsIncluded were 125 patients with a mean follow-up of 9.90 ± 2.25 years; 90 patients underwent HTO for medial OA, and 35 patients underwent ACI and HTO for medial focal cartilage defects. Functional outcome measures included visual analog scale (VAS) for pain, Lysholm, International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC), and Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) subscales and KOOS

resultsOverall, 16 patients required conversion to TKA at a mean 86.75 ± 25.73 months (10-year survival rate, 87.2%). Only 2 patients in the HTO+ACI subgroup required a conversion to TKA (10-year survival rate, 94.3%). The complication rate for all patients was 8.8%. In both the HTO and HTO+ACI subgroups, VAS pain levels decreased and Lysholm scores increased significantly from pre- to postoperatively (

conclusionLong-term results of HTO for medial compartment OA or cartilage defects with underlying varus deformity were good to excellent. In particular, patients who underwent HTO+ACI presented excellent long-term survival rates. HTO, therefore, delays or prevents TKA implantation, especially in young, active patients with medial compartment damage.
