No differences in knee anthropometric-related risk factors between unilateral and bilateral ACL reconstruction: A matched MRI-based cohort study.

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
Purpose: The primary aims of this retrospective study were to (1) compare medial posterior tibial slope (mPTS), lateral posterior tibial slope (lPTS), notch index and lateral femoral condyle ratio (LFCR) between patients who have undergone unilateral versus bilateral anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), measured on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using a matched cohort analysis; (2) evaluate whether subgroup differences exist based on age, gender and side; (3) assess risks factors for ACL injury using logistic models. Methods: This retrospective study included patients who underwent primary ACLR between 2015 and 2019. Measurements of the unilaterally operated knee ( Results: No significant differences were observed between the bilateral and unilateral groups for mPTS, lPTS, femoral notch index or LFCR. The mean values for the bilateral group were: mPTS, 3.84° ± 2.54°; lPTS, 6.03° ± 3.63°; notch index, 0.27 ± 0.02; and LFCR, 0.73 ± 0.07. Corresponding values for the unilateral group were: mPTS, 3.92° ± 2.94°; lPTS, 6.37° ± 3.13°; notch index, 0.27 ± 0.03; and LFCR, 0.71 ± 0.06 (all Conclusions: Patients who underwent bilateral ACLR showed no significant differences in mPTS, lPTS, femoral notch index or LFCR, compared with those who underwent unilateral ACLR, irrespective of age, gender and side. Level of Evidence: Level III, cross-sectional study.
