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
backgroundThe ascending or descending extended biplanar tibial cut in open wedge high tibial osteotomy (owHTO) not only changes the lower limb anatomy in the coronal plane but also leads to different three-dimensional (3D) changes in the patellofemoral joint. This study aimed to perform a comprehensive analysis of the dynamic biomechanical changes in the knee joint using a multibody simulation model.
methodsThirteen 3D computer models derived from lower limb computer tomography scans were used for owHTO. Osteotomies with ascending or descending biplanar cut were simulated for each wedge height from 6 to 12 mm (in 1-mm intervals). Multibody simulation was used to analyze differences in patellar shift, patellar tilt, mediolateral patellar rotation, and tibiofemoral rotation during a squat simulation from 5° to 100° knee flexion.
resultsThe main effects of an ascending compared with a descending extended biplanar cut in owHTO were characterized by an increase in lateralization of the patella and rotation, along with reduced tilt. Linear mixed models revealed statistically significant effects of both wedge height and cut variant on knee kinematics at 100° knee flexion, with the influence of the cut variant (ascending/descending) being higher on all analyzed kinematic parameters.
conclusionsSignificant differences in the changes in patellofemoral shift, tilt, rotation, and tibiofemoral rotation were observed when performing owHTO with an ascending versus a descending biplanar cut. Apart from tibiofemoral rotation, the resulting kinematic changes were greater with an ascending cut.
