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

purposeThis study evaluated the tibial torsional angle changes of 72 knees before and after open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) and compared the results according to the osteotomy level. MATERIALS AND

methodsSeventy patients (72 knees) with Kellgren-Lawrence grade 3 underwent OWHTO. Demographic data, operation procedures, and measurement of mechanical tibiofemoral angle (mTFA), anatomical tibiofemoral angle (aTFA), tibial torsional angle (TTA), and pre- and postoperative Lysholm and International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) scores were obtained. The authors analyzed TTA changes between 30 knees with high-level osteotomy (group A) and 42 knees with low-level osteotomy (group B).

resultsThe changes of TTAs in the subjects of 72 knees went from 29.26 ± 5.6° preoperative mean to 25.36 ± 6.4° postoperative mean (p = 0.032). The postoperative TTAs of group A (mean 27.4 ± 4.8°) and B (mean 25.7 ± 4.9°) were statistically significant (p < 0.01). Preoperative Lysholm and IKDC scores of 72 knees had means of 49.1 ± 3.5 and 49.0 ± 15.2, respectively, and postoperative means of 85.7 ± 8.56 and 78.0 ± 17.6, respectively, which were statistically significant (p < 0.01).

conclusionsChanges of TTA with internal rotation of distal tibia were observed following OWHTO. High-level osteotomy on the proximal tibia's lateral cortex had less internal rotation of the distal tibia than low-level osteotomy.
