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

A flat posterior tibial slope increases posterior tibial translation and places additional stress on the posterior cruciate ligament. In cases where posterior cruciate ligament insufficiency is exacerbated by altered posterior tibial slope, such as following the malunion of a lateral tibial plateau fracture or anterior physeal arrest, a slope-increasing tibial osteotomy can be a valuable strategy to reduce posterior tibial translation and restore sagittal alignment. This Technical Note outlines the surgical approach for an anterior slope-increasing tibial osteotomy in the setting of chronic posterior knee instability associated with a flat posterior tibial slope following a malunion of a tibial plateau fracture.
