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: The ideal intraoperative correction target for medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) remains debated. This study compared 10-year outcomes between two correction targets, 70% and 62% weight-bearing line (WBL). Methods: A total of 103 knees that underwent MOWHTO with a locking plate, performed by one surgeon and randomized to a 70% ( Results: Six-month WBL averaged 71.4% (70% group) and 62.2% (62% group). Both groups lost similar correction by 10 years (-5.5 vs. -4.8 percentage points, Conclusions: Both targets lost similar correction over 10 years, but the 62% target was closer to the undercorrection range, linked to more TKA conversion. Hazards were not proportional over time: The 70% target carried an early, overcorrection-related risk, while the 62% target carried a later, undercorrection-related risk undetectable by an overall Cox comparison alone. A target close to, but not exceeding, 70% may lower the risk of both patterns, pending confirmation with an intermediate target and a larger, adequately powered sample. Level of Evidence: Level II, retrospective long-term follow-up analysis of a prospectively randomized cohort.
