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

Purpose: This study aimed to demonstrate the application of orthotopic bone flap transplantation with a fibula transplantation (OBFT-FT) in open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OW-HTO) and to assess the effect of OBFT-FT on gap healing. Patients and methods: From January to July 2020, 18 patients who underwent OW-HTO with OBFT-FT were reviewed for this study. Demographics, postoperative complications, and radiological and clinical outcomes of patients were collected. Finally, the clinical outcomes of patients were analyzed. Results: A total of 14 patients were included in this study. The average age and body mass index were 59.6 ± 9.2 years and 28.1 ± 4.5 kg/m Conclusions: As a new technique for autologous bone graft, the OBFT-FT could be successfully applied in the treatment of gap healing after OW-HTO, and excellent radiological and clinical outcomes could be seen on patients' short-term follow-up.
