Association of Morphological Changes in the Posterior Horn of the Meniscus of Knee With Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury: A New Biological Evaluation Index.

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: The shape and size of the meniscus are closely related to the stability of the knee joint and the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Studies have confirmed the correlation between meniscal morphology and isolated ACL injury. Purpose: To investigate meniscal parameters, including morphological changes, in participants with isolated ACL injury. Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: This retrospective study, conducted from January to December 2021, compared 70 patients with isolated ACL injury with 70 patients with intact ACL. The meniscal slopes and posterior meniscal angles were measured using magnetic resonance imaging. The meniscal slopes include the slope of the anterior horn of the medial meniscus (SAHMM), slope of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus (SPHMM), slope of the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus (SAHLM), and slope of the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus (SPHLM). The posterior meniscal angles include the posterior base angle of the medial meniscus (PBAMM) and the posterior base angle of the lateral meniscus (PBALM). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the value of meniscal morphological parameters in judging ACL injury. Results: The SPHMM in participants with ACL injury was greater (mean, 23.24° ± 3.42°) than that in participants without (mean, 21.88° ± 3.35°) ( Conclusion: The authors found a strong association between morphological changes in the SPHMM and ACL injury. Therefore, morphological changes in the meniscus can indicate ACL injury.
