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

backgroundAlthough many studies have shown that high tibial osteotomy is appropriate for active patients, there are limited multifactorial studies on patients' sport activity level after HTO in general population.

methods158 patients who underwent HTO for knee osteoarthritis between January 2016 and December 2019 are included, with a 36-month follow-up. Information was collected from X-rays and questionnaire. The independent variables were age, sex, breadwinner (provide more than 50% income), sport activity level when the knee was pain-free before and after surgery, concomitant meniscal treatment history, Lysholm knee score, desire level for returning to sports. The 158 cases are divided into three groups according to their sports participation before and after operation, Chi-square tests and ANOVA analysis were adopted to identify the effect of these variables on sport activity level after HTO, and factors with statistical differences and clinical relevancies, or provided by previous research were assessed with the ordinal logistic regression analysis.

resultsAccording to sport activity level analysis, 28(17.7%) patients were categorized into the sport level-reduced group, 97(61.4%) patients into the sport level-unchanged group, and 33(20.9%) patients into the sport level-improved group. Upon ordinal logistic regression analysis, postoperative MA%, age, BMI, and preoperative Lysholm knee score were statistically significant.

conclusionsHigher postoperative MA%, younger age, lower BMI, and lower Lysholm score are associate with improvement on activity level after HTO. This finding provides valuable references in operation option and rehabilitation planning.
