Postoperative improvement in patient-reported outcomes after neutral alignment medial open wedge high tibial osteotomy for medial compartment knee osteoarthritis in patients aged ≥70 years versus younger patients.
Article in Journal of experimental orthopaedics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
Purpose: To compare the postoperative clinical and radiological outcomes in patients aged ≥70 years following neutral alignment medial opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (NA-MOWHTO) for medial compartment knee osteoarthritis (KOA) to those observed in younger patients. Methods: The data of patients who underwent NA-MOWHTO for medial compartment KOA between September 2018 and June 2022 were retrospectively analysed. The patients were categorised into groups Y (<70 years) and O (≥70 years). Age, sex, Kellgren-Lawrence classification, pre- and postoperative mechanical axis, weight-bearing line ratio, medial proximal tibial angle, preoperative Tegner Activity Score and pre- and postoperative Lysholm scores were compared between the groups. Results: Overall, 81 patients (60 and 21 in groups Y and O, respectively) who underwent NA-MOWHTO were included in this study. No significant differences were found in patient characteristics between the two groups, except for the preoperative Tegner Activity Score, which was significantly higher in group Y than in group O (3 [2-4] vs. 2 [2-2], respectively; Conclusions: The postoperative improvement following NA-MOWHTO for medial compartment KOA is comparable in patients aged ≥70 and younger. Level of Evidence: Level III, Retrospective comparative study.
