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

Pathological torsions of the femur and tibia are common. The negative effects on the knee are evident and do not only affect the patellofemoral joint. The suspected diagnosis of maltorsion is generated by physical examination and verified by tomographic imaging (MRI or CT). The literature review regarding tibial derotation osteotomies conducted by the authors yielded 35 studies (1562 osteotomies). Almost all of the studies reported a significant improvement compared to preoperatively based on patient-reported outcomes (Kujala, SF-36, Lysholm, KOOS, VAS and general patient wellbeing). Due to the lack of comparative studies, the best surgical technique for tibial derotation osteotomy is still undetermined. For complex cases in which deformities in several body planes are to be corrected (e.g., maltorsion and valgus varus deformity), three-dimensional planning and implementation using patient-specific incision blocks seems promising.
