Evaluation of the Effect of Menisci on Tibial Slope and the Correlation With Body Mass Index.
Article in Cureus, 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
Background One of the important factors affecting the biomechanics of the knee joint is the posterior tibial slope which is the tibial plateau's anatomical inclination toward the posterior of the sagittal plane. This inclination, which affects anterior-posterior stability, is important for the kinematics of the knee joint. Changes in the tibial slope may cause a deficit in the stability and function of the knee joint. We aimed to examine the inclination of the posterior horn of the meniscus and posterior tibial slope in healthy individuals and investigate the effect of body mass index on these measurements. Methodology A total of 34 magnetic resonance images and lateral knee radiographs were evaluated in this study. The study included individuals aged 15 to 78 without a history of previous injury or surgery of their knee. Results In the measurements made on magnetic resonance images, a statistically significant difference was found between 25% lateral meniscus slope (mean ± SD = 28.08 ± 1.88) and 25% medial meniscus slope (mean ± SD = 27.31 ± 1.41) (p = 0.05). At the same time, a statistically significant difference (p = 0.011) was found between 25% medial combined slope (mean ± SD = 29.05 ± 3.80) and 25% lateral combined slope (mean ± SD = 30.62 ± 2.99). There was no statistically significant difference between tibial and meniscus slopes, body mass index, gender, and age. Conclusions Our study results have shown that the 25% lateral meniscus and combined slopes are greater than the 25% medial meniscus slope.
