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
purposeThe relationship between tibial bony and meniscus anatomy and knee kinematics during in vivo, high-impact activities remains unclear. This study aimed to determine if the posterior tibial slope (PTS) and meniscal slope (MS) are associated with in vivo anterior-posterior translation and internal tibia rotation during running and double-leg drop jumps in healthy knees.
methodsNineteen collegiate athletes performed fast running at 5.0 m/s on an instrumented treadmill and double-leg drop jump from a 60 cm platform while biplane radiographs of the knee were acquired at 150 Hz. Tibiofemoral kinematics were determined using a validated model-based tracking process. Medial and lateral PTS and MS were measured using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
resultsIn fast running, more internal tibia rotation was associated with greater PTS (ρ = 0.336, P = 0.039) and MS (ρ = 0.405, P = 0.012) in the medial knee compartment. In the double-leg drop jump, more internal tibia rotation was associated with greater PTS (ρ = 0.431, P = 0.007) and MS (ρ = 0.323, P = 0.005) in the medial knee compartment, as well as a greater PTS in the lateral knee compartment (ρ = 0.445, P = 0.005).
conclusionThese findings suggest that the medial and lateral PTS and medial MS are associated with the amount of knee rotation during high-impact activities. These in vivo findings improve our understanding of ACL injury risk by linking bone and meniscus morphology to dynamic kinematics.
