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

Background In the management of medial compartment knee osteoarthritis via around-knee osteotomy (AKO) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA), evaluating the lateral distal femoral angle (LDFA) is crucial. This angle reflects the presence of distal femoral varus deformity. This study aims to explore the relationship between LDFA and lower extremity bone morphology and identify factors contributing to a high LDFA. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 59 patients who underwent AKO or TKA at our hospital. Alignment of the lower extremity was assessed using X-rays, and bone morphology was investigated through computed tomography (CT) employing the ZedKnee
