Steeper tibial and meniscal slopes as predictive factors for ramp lesions in anterior cruciate ligament injuries.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. 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
The relationship between ramp lesion (RL), tibial slope (TS), and meniscal slope (MS) remains inadequately explored. This study aims to investigate whether TS and MS are predictive factors for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries associated with RL, and to evaluate the performance of TS and MS in predicting RL, including determining optimal cut-off values. A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 253 patients who underwent ACL reconstruction. Magnetic resonance imaging was used to measure TS and MS on tibial plateaus. Logistic regression analyses determined associations between TS, MS, and RL. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves evaluated predictive performance and cut-off values. A total of 65 cases (25.7%) were found to have RL. Significant differences in causes of injury, medial TS (MTS), medial MS (MMS), and bone bruises were observed between groups. In the unadjusted model and adjusted models, they showed significant (P < 0.001) associations for MTS (1.73-1.75) and MMS (OR range = 2.14-2.24). The AUC for MTS was 0.72 (95% CI 0.65-0.79, P < 0.001) with a cut-off value of 6.73°, for MMS was 0.80 (95% CI 0.74-0.86, P < 0.001) with a cut-off value of 4.03°, indicating good predictive performance. Larger MTS and MMS are significant predictive factors for RL in patients with ACL injury. Clinicians should closely monitor ACL injury patients with elevated MTS or MMS. Utilizing MTS or MMS as a predictive parameter shows promise for the identification of RL.
