In slope-changing osteotomy one millimeter is not one degree: results of an artificial intelligence-automated software analysis.

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
backgroundAnterior closing wedge osteotomies (ACWO) are performed in revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery to correct an excessive posterior tibial slope (PTS). PURPOSE: With the help of automated planning software, this study investigates the assumption that 1mm of wedge height gives 1° of slope correction (1:1).
methodsFifty patients underwent ACWO, with the wedge height calculated using the 1:1 formula. Pre- and postosteotomy PTS were measured manually, and the achieved post-operative PTS was compared with the target PTS of 5.3° ± 1.9. The X-ray analysis was repeated virtually with the automated software, which also recommended a resection height. These parameters were then compared with the manually obtained parameters.
resultsUsing a 1:1 formula, wedge heights of 8.5mm ± 2.3 was resected to achieve a PTS of 4.2° ± 0.32. This showed an overcorrection of 1.6° ± 0.8 from the target slope. This was consistent with the data from the automated software, which recommended a lower wedge height of 7.7mm ± 2.9.
conclusionIn trans-tubercle ACW, using a wedge height (mm) to slope correction (°) ratio of 1:1 can lead to slight over-correction. Automated software planning is useful for planning correction osteotomies in the sagittal plane.
