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
Purpose: To compare the clinical and radiographic data after opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) using an allogenous bone graft versus a tricalcium phosphate (TCP) graft. Methods: This prospective clinical study enroled 42 patients (84 knees) between September 2022 and March 2023, undergoing bilateral OWHTO for genu varum. Patients' knees were randomized intraoperatively into two groups: those receiving an allograft or TCP graft to fill the osteotomy defect. Preoperative assessments included pain severity via the visual analogue scale (VAS) and joint function using the Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC). The osteotomy was corrected using the Minami-Miniaci method, and stabilization was achieved with a fixed-angle locking plate. Pain, complications and radiographic outcomes were monitored post-operatively, with bone union assessed via the Hemert criteria. Results: In this cohort of 42 patients (59.5% male, mean age 36.6 ± 5.0 years), all non-smokers, the mean follow-up was 2.1 years. Pre- and post-operative comparison using WOMAC (pre-op = 16.1 ± 8.4; post-op = allograft: 11.3 ± 4.7, Conclusions: Patients undergoing OWHTO with TCP granules experienced better outcomes and less pain, compared to those receiving allogeneic bone grafts. Level of Evidence: N/A.
