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

There is an emerging role of using patient-specific instruments in orthopaedic surgery, such as high tibial osteotomy, to improve surgical precision and reduce operative times. However, there is a paucity of evidence in the use of patient-specific instruments in anteriorizing tibial tubercle osteotomy (aTTO) to treat patellofemoral osteoarthritis. The purpose of this article is to describe the technique of using a patient-specific 3-dimensional printed surgical guide to perform an aTTO. The guide was designed in 3 dimensions preoperatively using patient imaging to facilitate patient-specific, accurate bone cuts and effective surgical execution for the aTTO.
