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

Unicompartmental knee osteoarthritis (UKOA) is the early stage of knee joint degeneration, which is characterized by unicompartmental degeneration and mostly occurs in medial compartment. Pain and limited motion are main symptoms, which affect patients' life quality. Periarticular knee osteotomy (PKO) for lower extremity alignment correction is an effective treatment for UKOA with abnormal alignment, which could relieve pain and improve joint function by adjusting lower extremity alignment. At present, no clinical guidelines are available for the treatment of UKOA by PKO for lower extremity alignment correction. Experts from the Clinical New Technology Application Committee of the Chinese Hospital Association, Joint Surgery Study Group of the Chinese Orthopaedic Association of the Chinese Medical Association, and Osteoarthritis Study Group of the Chinese Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association formulated these guidelines. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) grading system and the Reporting Items for Practice Guidelines in Healthcare (RIGHT) were adopted to select 25 most concerning questions. Finally, 25 recommendations were formulated through evidence retrieval, evidence quality evaluation, and the determination of directions and strength of recommendations. Recommendation items 1-5 are indications and contraindications for PKO for lower extremity alignment correction, items 6-21 are surgical methods and principles, item 22 describes 3D printing corrective osteotomy technique, and items 23-25 address the perioperative period, follow-up management, and other content. These guidelines are designed to improve the normalization and standardization of KOA treatment by PKO for lower extremity alignment correction.
