Is there a relationship between recurrence and obesity in the three-year mid-term follow-up of patients who underwent high tibial osteotomy due to medial gonarthrosis?
Article in Joint diseases and related surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivesThis study aimed to radiologically evaluate the possible relationship between the body mass index (BMI) and recurrence of varus deformity during the mid-term follow-up of patients treated for medial gonarthrosis. PATIENTS AND
methodsFifty-six patients (11 males, 45 females; mean age: 53.8±7.2 years; range, 29 to 64 years) who underwent medial opening wedge osteotomy for the treatment of isolated medial varus gonarthrosis between January 1, 2020, and June 1, 2021, were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were categorized according to BMI values as having a healthy weight (18.5-24.9 kg/m
resultsAmong the 56 patients, the mean age of those with healthy weight was 42.5±13.2 years, that of the overweight group was 53.3±6.4 years, and that of the obese group was 54.0±5.8 years. Radiological evaluations were statistically improved postoperatively compared to preoperative scores across BMI groups (p<0.05). There were no correlations between age and radiological scores or BMI (p>0.05). Similarly, no correlation was found between BMI and radiological scores (p>0.05).
conclusionBody mass index is not of significance in medial opening wedge osteotomy radiological scores in short- and mid-term follow-up.
