The effect of bony morphology on anterior cruciate ligament injury and surgery.
Review in Acta orthopaedica et traumatologica turcica, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The exploration of underlying biological risk factors for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury has generated a substantial body of literature describing the role of bony morphology of the knee. Morphological risk factors, such as poor tibiofemoral joint congruity, a narrow femoral intercondylar notch, and an increased posterior tibial slope (PTS), have been implicated in contributing to knee instability and biomechanical abnormalities. Additionally, investigations into sex-specific differences in bony morphology have unveiled distinct risk profiles for males and females. In light of these findings, surgical considerations for individuals with high-risk bony morphology have been developed. Procedures like anterior closing wedge high tibial osteotomy, aiming to address increased PTS, and lateral extra-articular tenodesis for patients with specific risk factors, have been established. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the current evidence describing the relationship between bony morphology and ACL injury. Moreover, this review aims to discuss the surgical management and outcomes concerning patients exhibiting high-risk anatomic features.
