Correlation of lower limb alignment with medial mensical extrusion in knee osteoarthritis.
Article in Archives of orthopaedic and trauma surgery, 2024. 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
backgroundThis study aims to explore the relationship between Lower limb alignment parameters and the degree of Medial Meniscal Extrusion (MME) in patients with Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA), in hopes of providing new reference data for the prevention and treatment of KOA.
methodsA retrospective study design was employed, analyzing 623 KOA patients treated at our hospital from 2022 to 2023, with 307 patients' information collected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients were divided into mild and severe groups based on the degree of MME, and differences in Lower limb alignment parameters between the two groups were compared. Univariate analysis, Pearson correlation analysis, and multivariate stepwise regression analysis were used, along with Receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve assessment to evaluate the predictive value of Lower limb alignment parameters on the degree of MME.
resultsUnivariate analysis showed significant correlations between Anatomic Mechanical Axis (AMA), Joint Line Convergence Angle (JLCA), mechanical Lateral Distal Femur Angle (mLDFA), Medial Proximal Tibia Angle (MPTA), and the degree of MME (P < 0.05). Pearson correlation analysis further confirmed the positive correlations between these parameters and the degree of MME. Multivariate stepwise regression analysis indicated that AMA, JLCA, and mLDFA are significant independent predictors of the severity of MME. ROC analysis suggested that the combination of AMA, JLCA, and mLDFA could better predict severe MME.
conclusionAMA, JLCA, and mLDFA are closely related to the degree of MME in KOA patients and can serve as important parameters for assessing the severity of MME, holding significant implications for the early prevention and treatment of KOA.
