Knee anatomic geometry accurately predicts risk of anterior cruciate ligament rupture.
Article in Acta radiologica (Stockholm, Sweden : 1987), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundCertain anatomical characteristics of the knee have potential relationships with the risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture. There remains a need for stronger evidence using arthroscopy as well as radiological imaging to accurately clarify these relationships. PURPOSE: To compare the anatomic geometry of the knee joint between patients with and without ACL ruptures. MATERIAL AND
methodsCase-controlled study of patients with arthroscopically confirmed ACL ruptures (ACL group) compared to patients with arthroscopically confirmed normal ACLs (control group). Magnetic resonance imaging scans were assessed for a total of 14 quantitative radiological variables including medial and lateral tibial slope angles (bone and cartilage measurements), meniscal height, femoral width, intercondylar notch width and tibial depth.
resultsA total of 105 patients were included in the study, 55 in the ACL group and 50 in the control group. There was a significant difference (
conclusionGreater postero-inferior directed slope measurements of bone and cartilage in both the lateral and medial compartments with a narrower intercondylar notch width increase the risk of ACL rupture. Mathematical modelling can accurately predict the risk of ACL rupture.
