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
backgroundThe aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between tibial slope angle and ligament strain during in vitro landing simulations that induce ACL failure through the application of variable external loading at the knee. The hypothesis tested was that steeper posterior tibial slope angle would be associated with higher ACL strain during a simulated landing task across all external loading conditions.
methodsKinetics previously derived from an in vivo cohort performing drop landings were reproduced on 45 cadaveric knees via the mechanical impact simulator. MRIs were taken of each specimen and used to calculate medial compartment posterior tibial slope, lateral compartment posterior tibial slope, and coronal plane tibial slope. Linear regression analyses were performed between these angles and ACL strain to determine whether tibial slope was a predictive factor for ACL strain.
findingsMedial and lateral posterior tibial slope were predictive factors for ACL strain during some landings with higher combined loads. Medial posterior slope was more predictive of ACL strain in most landings for male specimens, while lateral posterior and coronal slope were more predictive in female specimens, but primarily when high abduction moments were applied.
interpretationTibial slope has the potential to influence ACL strain during landing, especially when large abduction moments are present at the knee. Deleterious external loads to the ACL increase the correlation between tibial slope and ACL strain, which indicates that tibial slope angles are an additive factor for athletes apt to generate large out-of-plane knee moments during landing tasks.
