Evaluation of the Insall-Salvati Ratio Among the Vietnamese Population: Application for Diagnosis of Patellar Malalignment.
Article in Orthopedic research and reviews, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
introduction and purposeAn abnormal patellar position has been proven to be associated with anterior knee pain and several other conditions that affect the patellofemoral joint. The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of patella alta and patella baja and the applicability of the normal range of the Insall-Salvati ratio in the Vietnamese population. METHODOLOGY: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to examine 455 Vietnamese subjects' knees. The Insall-Salvati ratio-the ratio of patellar ligament length (LL) and patellar length (PL)-was measured using sagittal T1-weighted images.
resultsThe overall mean LL/PL ratio was 1.02 (standard deviation 0.15). No significant differences in the LL/PL ratio were observed between sexes. The frequencies of patella alta (Insall-Salvati ratio >1.32) and patella baja (Insall-Salvati ratio <0.72) were 0.9% and 2.4%, respectively.
conclusionThe Insall-Salvati ratio is applicable to Vietnamese populations in which high flexion activities such as kneeling and sitting cross-legged are customary. According to our measurement, the normal range of the ratio among Vietnamese subjects was 0.72 to 1.32.
