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: This study aimed to assess clinical and radiological outcomes after two-staged slope-reducing high tibial osteotomy (HTO) and revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) for recurrent ACL insufficiency with an increased posterior tibial Slope (PTS) > 12°. Methods: Patients operated in two centres between 01/2015 and 01/2022 were included after a minimum follow-up of 24 months after revision ACLR. The postoperative pain and the following scores were obtained: IKDC, KOOS, Lysholm, TAS. The Slope was measured using the Dejour technique postoperatively using lateral X-rays being compared to a preoperative X-ray. Also, a clinical examination including range of motion, anterior + posterior translation and pivot-shift were performed. The Rolimeter was used for anterior tibial translation (ATT). Results: Twenty-four patients (18 m, 6 f; age: 27 ± 8 y) were examined after a mean follow-up of 34 ± 10 months. PTS was reduced from 15.2° ± 2.4° to 5.7° ± 3.8°. Scores at final follow-up: IKDC 75.5 ± 1.5, Lysholm 79.9 ± 12.7, KOOS 77.5 ± 11.5, TAS was 5 (interquartile range 4-7). Postoperative Pain was significantly reduced (VAS: 4.0 ± 2.8 vs. 1.4 ± 1.3; Conclusion: Combined slope-reducing HTO and ACLR lead to good clinical outcomes, high patient satisfaction, and a low failure rate. Patients were able to return to activity, but often at a lower sports level. Anterior tibial translation remains slightly increased compared to the healthy side. Level of Evidence: Therapeutic study Level IV, case series.
