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: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common degenerative joint disease in the world. It results in not only physical limitation and pain, but also negatively impacts quality of life and mental wellbeing. Treatment options such as medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) help to relieve pain and improve functionality, but there is limited literature on the effect on mental health. This study aims to investigate the effect of MOWHTO on the mental health of patients with knee OA. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, data were collected from patients who underwent MOWHTO between 2019 and 2023 in a single tertiary institution. The main outcome score, short form-36 mental component score (SF-36 MCS), was recorded at baseline, 6 months and 2 years postprocedure. Secondary outcomes included the SF-36 physical component score (PCS) and Oxford knee score (OKS). Results: There were a total of 108 MOWHTOs, comprising 51 men and 57 women. At surgery, the mean age was 55.4 ± 6.97. Twelve patients did not turn up at the 6-month follow-up. There was a significant improvement of SF-36 MCS from a preoperative mean of 50.8 ± 12.6 to 57.1 ± 11.0 ( Conclusions: At 2-year follow-up, MOWHTO results in a significant improvement in the mental health of patients with knee OA. There is a correlation between preoperative mental health and postoperative outcomes, suggesting a role of mental health in affecting MOWHTO outcomes. Level of Evidence: Level IV.
