Clinical Outcome Improvement in Open-Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy Using the Smartphone Application mymobility®: A Case Report.

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
Clinical outcomes following open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) are influenced by factors such as preoperative varus alignment, catastrophic thinking, metabolic syndrome-related diseases, and older age. This report evaluated the effectiveness of mymobility® (Zimmer Biomet, Warsaw, IN, USA), a smartphone application, for patient education and exercise guidance in improving clinical outcomes and catastrophic thinking in a patient exhibiting these risk factors. An 83-year-old man with Kellgren-Lawrence grade 3 knee osteoarthritis underwent OWHTO. Preoperative assessments revealed a Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) of 35 for symptoms, 36 for pain, 45 for activities of daily living (ADL), 10 for sports, and 0 for quality of life (QOL); an Oxford Knee Score (OKS) of 17; and a Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) score of 52, indicating poor clinical outcomes and catastrophic thinking. His daily step count, walking speed, and walking pain on the visual analog scale (VAS) were 849 steps/day, 0.8 m/s, and 50 mm, respectively. mymobility® was used for video-based exercise guidance, compliance monitoring, and chat-based anxiety management. By postoperative day 90, his step count exceeded preoperative levels, reaching 1500-2000 steps/day by day 365. His VAS score was 10 mm, and his walking speed was 1.0 m/s. He had a KOOS of 71 for symptoms, 67 for pain, 72 for ADL, 45 for sports, and 25 for QOL; an OKS of 30; and a PCS score of 17. mymobility®-based patient education and exercise guidance suggested that mymobility® effectively improved clinical outcomes and catastrophic thinking in a patient who underwent OWHTO and was presenting with older age, catastrophic thinking, and metabolic syndrome-related diseases.
