Surgical Correction of Large Talar Tilt in Varus Ankle Osteoarthritis: Lessons from Clinical Experience and a Review of the Literature.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Numerous studies exist on medial opening wedge supramalleolar osteotomy (SMO), ever since its introduction by Takakura et al., as a joint-preserving surgical option for treating varus ankle osteoarthritis (OA). Although SMO can induce lateral translation of the talus-which is medially translated in varus ankle OA-it has only minimal effects on the correction of the varus tilt of the talus. Particularly, SMO alone does not effectively neutralize the talar position. The primary reason for this limitation is that varus tilting of the talus is not merely a two-dimensional deformity in the coronal plane, but rather a three-dimensional deformity involving internal rotation and anterior subluxation. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the key considerations for achieving effective correction of varus talar tilt in joint-preserving surgery for treating degenerative varus ankle OA with large talar tilting. Further, we have discussed the relevant studies and included the lessons learned from our clinical experience, categorizing the key surgical considerations into preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative phases.
