Radiographic assessment of the tibiofemoral relationship in anterior cruciate ligament deficient knees.

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 intercondylar roof line is one of the indicators used during anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction to see the relation to the position of the tibial tunnel. The tibial tunnel can be made posteriorly in the anteriorly subluxated tibia. During ACL reconstruction, the tibiofemoral relationship of the opposite or normal knee should be considered. The purpose of this study was to examine the radiographic tibiofemoral relationship of the sagittal plane in a standing position in ACL deficient knees.
methodsIn this study, 64 patients were evaluated for inclusion. Lateral radiographs of the injured and uninjured knee were obtained preoperatively in a standing position. The knee was fully extended with the opposite foot on a step, asking the patients to bear weight fully on one leg. The tibiofemoral relationship was evaluated in the radiographs.
resultsThe mean value of anterior tibial subluxation was 1.2 mm in the injured side and -1.6 mm in the uninjured side. The tibia was located in a significantly anterior position in the injured knee (
conclusionThe tibiofemoral relationship of the ACL deficient knee was different from that of normal knee in the standing position. The relationship of the normal knee should be considered during ACL reconstruction and the risk of secondary lesions in the ACL deficient knee in activities of daily life should be considered.
