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

We report the management of a 66-year-old man with knee osteoarthritis and severe correctable intra-articular varus secondary to lateral soft-tissue laxity, through total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with lateral femoral epicondylar osteotomy (FEO). Radiologic union was noted at the site of osteotomy 6 months postoperatively. At 3 years' follow-up, the patient's Knee Society clinical and functional scores were 93 and 90, respectively.
