ACL Volume Measurement Using a Multi-truncated Pyramid Shape Simulation.

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
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to measure anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) volume in a newly reported multi-truncated pyramid shape simulation using axial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the detailed knowledge of the ACL anatomy. Methods: Fifty subjects (27 female and 23 male, average age: 23 ± 7.8) visiting our clinic with knee pain and in whom MRI showed no structural injury were included in this study. Using the axial image of the MRI, four deferent levels of the cross-sectional area of the ACL were measured. ACL height was measured as the distance between the most proximal and distal slices of the MRI. ACL volume was calculated using a multi-truncated pyramid shape simulation. Femoral intercondylar notch height, area, and trans-epicondylar length (TEL) were also measured using MRI. Results: The measured top, proximal 1/3, distal 1/3, and bottom of the ACL cross-sectional area were, 36.8 ± 10.7, 59.9 ± 15.4, 66.4 ± 20.8, and 107.3 ± 21.1mm Conclusion: Similar ACL volume with previous reports was obtained in this simple and easy multi-truncated pyramid shape simulation from axial MRI evaluation. Significant correlation was observed between ACL volume and knee bony morphology. The ability of surgeons to measure ACL volume simply and effectively can be useful for the detailed ACL anatomical knowledge, and also for prediction and prevention of ACL injury.
