Posterior tibial slope has no impact on treatment outcome in anterior cruciate ligament revision patients.
Article in Journal of experimental orthopaedics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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: To investigate the impact of posterior tibial slope (PTS) on postoperative outcome in an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) revision cohort, based on sagittal knee stability and subjective, patient-reported knee function. Methods: Lateral knee radiographs from 105 ACL revision patients (mean age 27.2 ± 6.5 years) were retrospectively reviewed and both medial and lateral posterior tibial slope was measured. Objective sagittal knee stability was based on Rolimeter measurements. The subjective knee function was obtained through the Knee Numeric-Entity Evaluation Score (KNEES-ACL), the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) and Tegner Activity Scale (TAS) questionnaires. Objective anterior-posterior (AP) knee laxity was examined prior to ACL revision surgery and at a one-year follow-up, and the patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) were obtained prior to ACL revision surgery and after a two-year follow-up period. Results: No correlation was found between medial PTS and knee stability before (0.16; 95% confidence interval [CI], -0.06 to 0.36, Conclusion: In the present study, PTS was not found to be associated with either sagittal knee stability or subjective knee function in ACL revision patients. Patients undergoing ACL revision surgery have a large mean difference between the medial and the lateral PTS. Level of Evidence: Level IV.
