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 determine whether auxiliary fixation with a T-shaped small locking plate (SLP) placed on the medial tibial cortex can enhance bone healing and reduce delayed union compared with the conventional inverted V-shaped high tibial osteotomy (iVHTO) fixed with a locking compression plate (LCP). Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 154 knees (135 patients) that underwent iVHTO. The knees were allocated to Group S ( Results: The time to union was significantly shorter in Group D than in Group S (median, 8 vs. 12 weeks; Conclusion: Auxiliary medial fixation using an SLP enhanced bone healing and minimized the incidence of delayed union or non-union following conventional iVHTO with single lateral LCP fixation, without increasing other complications or compromising clinical outcomes. Level of Evidence: Level III, prospective cohort study.
