Correlation analysis between femoral trochlear dysplasia and anterior cruciate ligament injury based on CT measurement.
Article in Quantitative imaging in medicine and surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundAnterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is the most common knee ligament injury. Femoral trochlear dysplasia (FTD) is an anatomic deformity characterized by a shallow trochlear angle and depth. There is limited research on the correlation between ACL injury and trochlear dysplasia.
methodsA total of 423 patients with an ACL injury who underwent ACL reconstruction and plain computed tomography (CT) follow-up scan one week after the operation in our hospital between January 2017 and March 2019 were enrolled in this study. A total of 352 patients (369 knees) without ACL injury served as a control group. The sulcus angle, trochlear facet asymmetry, trochlear depth, and lateral trochlear inclination were measured at 3 cm above the tibiofemoral joint. The notch width index (NWI) was measured on the CT axis, and the FTD was divided into four types according to the Dejour classification.
resultsThe prevalence of FTD was significantly higher in the ACL injury group than in the control group (30.7%
conclusionsOur findings indicate that FTD might be a significant risk factor for ACL injury. Whether FTD is related to ACL injury caused by smaller intercondylar notch needs further study.
