Evaluation of the relationship between non-contact anterior cruciate ligament rupture and eminential morphometry: a cross-sectional and MRI based study.
Article in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe literature does not clearly convey the relationship between eminential morphometry and non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures. This study attempts to reveal whether there is a relationship between non-contact ACL ruptures and eminential morphometry.
methodsKnee magnetic resonance images (MRIs) taken for the various indications between January 2022 and June 2023 were retrospectively scanned. The patients were categorized into 2 groups: those with an ACL rupture and those with an intact ACL. For each patient, eminential angle 1, eminential angle 2, medial eminential height, lateral eminential height, total eminential height, eminential width, and the ratio of tibial plateau width and eminential width to the tibial plateau width were measured by 2 different orthopedists. Patients whose MRIs were used for measurement were evaluated and grouped according to their age, sex, and injury side.
resultsIn total, 400 MRIs of 400 patients were included in the study. While 200 patients had an ACL rupture, 200 had an intact ACL. The total eminential height in the ACL rupture group was measured at 16.1 ± 2.6 mm and 15.5 ± 2.7 mm (p = 0.035) in the ACL intact group. Eminental width in the ACL rupture group was measured at 12.1 ± 1.9 mm and 13.0 ± 2.0 mm in the ACL intact group (p = 0.0001). The tibial plateau width was 75.4 ± 15.7 mm in the ACL rupture group and 73.6 ± 5.8 mm in the ACL intact group (p = 0.002). According to the logistic regression analysis, the p-value for males was 0.0001, and for eminential width, the p-value was 0.0001.
conclusionsA significant difference was found between the ACL rupture and the ACL intact groups regarding eminential height, eminential width, and tibial plateau width parameters. Being male and having a low eminential width were identified as independent risk factors for non-contact ACL.
