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

Objective: To determine the impact of the lower limb weight bearing line ratio (WBLR) on motor function recovery after high tibial osteotomy (HTO). Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 55 patients with unilateral compartment knee osteoarthritis who underwent open-wedge HTO between August 2020 and October 2023 and met the selection criteria. Based on the postoperative Lysholm score, patients were divided into two groups: the good knee function group (Lysholm score≥90, group A) and the poor knee function group (Lysholm score<90, group B). Lysholm score, American Knee Society (AKS) score, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score, and visual analogue scale (VAS) score for pain were compared between the two groups. Univariate analysis was performed on baseline data including gender, age, body mass index (BMI), affected side, disease duration, Kellgren-Lawrence grade, and radiographic parameters [preoperative and postoperative medial proximal tibial angle, lateral distal femoral angle, femoral-tibial angle, hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA), WBLR, posterior tibial slope angle, and joint line convergence angle] to identify factors influencing functional recovery. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was further used to identify independent factors. Additionally, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was employed to determine the optimal cut-off value of postoperative WBLR for predicting motor function recovery, and the area under curve (AUC) was calculated to assess diagnostic performance. Results: All 55 patients were followed up 10-14 months (mean, 11.8 months). According to the postoperative Lysholm score, there were 30 patients in group A and 25 in group B. All postoperative clinical scores in group A were significantly better than those in group B ( Conclusion: A postoperative WBLR of 55.5% is associated with optimal motor function recovery after HTO.
