Correlation of Femoral Trochlear Dysplasia With Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury in Skeletally Immature Patients.

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
backgroundReports of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in patients with skeletal immaturity have been increasing. Variations in knee joint anatomy have been linked to ACL injury risk factors. PURPOSE: To identify associations between ACL injury, patella alta, and femoral trochlear dysplasia in patients with skeletal immaturity by using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). STUDY
designCross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3.
methodsThis retrospective study included 231 patients with skeletal immaturity-116 with acute complete noncontact ACL injury and 115 without ACL injury (controls)-who underwent knee MRI. Cases of femoral trochlear dysplasia were divided into 4 types according to the Dejour classification scheme. Patellar height and patellar tendon length were measured via sagittal MRI, and the Insall-Salvati ratio (ISR) was calculated.
resultsIn the ACL injury group, 56 (48.3%) knees exhibited trochlear dysplasia, including 51 (91.1%) that were Dejour type A; and in the control group, 12 (10.4%) knees exhibited trochlear dysplasia, 12 (100%) Dejour type A. The prevalence of femoral trochlear dysplasia was significantly higher in the ACL injury group than in the control group (
conclusionFemoral trochlear dysplasia was associated with ACL injury in patients with skeletal immaturity. In particular, Dejour type A femoral trochlear dysplasia was correlated with ACL injury patients with skeletal immaturity. Also, the possibility of ACL damage exists in patients with skeletal immaturity and femoral trochlear dysplasia.
