Tibial Spine Height Measured by Radiograph Is a Risk Factor for Non-Contact Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury in Males: A Retrospective Case-Control Study.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Various anatomic abnormalities are implicated in non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, but researchers rarely deal with the relation between tibial spine height and ACL injury. We conducted a retrospective case-control study to include 96 patients with and without non-contact ACL injuries. Tibial plateau width (TPW), medial and lateral tibial spine height (MTSH and LTSH), and tibial spine width (TSW) were measured by radiographs. The parameters were compared among subgroups. Binary regression mode, receiver operating characteristic curves, and the area under the curve (AUC) were used to evaluate the specific correlation of the parameters with ACL injury. As a result, we found that the ratio of LTSH/TPW was larger in ACL-injured patients than in ACL-intact controls (
