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
Background: High tibial osteotomy (HTO) is crucial for managing medial compartmental knee osteoarthritis. Precision in achieving the medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA) correction and maintenance of posterior tibial slope (PTS) is essential for clinical success. This study aims to compare the use of 3D-printed patient-specific instruments (PSI) to conventional HTO to achieve precise MPTA correction and maintenance of PTS, aiming to enhance surgical outcomes in HTO patients. Methods: Among 104 patients who underwent HTO between September 2018 and July 2021, 60 met the inclusion criteria and were categorized into a PSI group (30 cases) and conventional method group (30 cases). Radiological outcomes included estimated and postoperative MPTA values, along with preoperative and postoperative PTS measurements. Results: Within the conventional HTO group, significant differences were noted between the estimated and postoperative MPTA values (94.3° ± 2.4° vs. 93.5° ± 2.5°, Conclusion: This study indicated that the use of PSI-guided HTO could provide enhanced accuracy in achieving the target MPTA and improve the prevention of PTS changes.
