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 posterior tibial slope (PTS) greater than 12° is an established risk factor for anterior cruciate ligament graft reconstruction failure. Reducing PTS is thus considered protective to the anterior cruciate ligament graft, and it can be achieved through an anterior closing-wedge osteotomy. Prior to the procedure, PTS should be accurately measured to determine the amount of correction that is needed. Radiographic films remain the gold standard for measuring PTS. The purpose of this presentation is to show validated and reproducible step-by-step techniques for measuring PTS and anterior tibial translation for anterior closing-wedge osteotomy using monopedal full-length weight-bearing tibia standing radiographs.
