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

Introduction: Medial meniscus posterior root tears (MMPRTs) in varus knees accelerate medial compartment degeneration. While medial open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) reduces compartmental load, it does not restore meniscal hoop tension. Circumferential fiber augmentation (CFA) may improve meniscal stability and limit extrusion. Case Report: A 49-year-old female with varus alignment and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-confirmed MMPRT underwent single-stage all-inside CFA followed by MOWHTO. Post-operative rehabilitation included protected motion and gradual weight-bearing. Outcome: At 6 months, the patient showed significant improvement in pain and function, with radiological evidence of osteotomy union, maintained alignment, and healed posterior root with reduced meniscal extrusion on MRI. Conclusion: Combined CFA and MOWHTO is feasible and may enhance meniscal stability and load distribution in varus MMPRT. Further studies are required to establish long-term outcomes.
