Relationship Between Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury and Meniscus-Bone Angle.
Article in Orthopaedic journal of sports medicine, 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
Background: The meniscus-bone angle (MBA), defined as the angle formed by the lateral meniscus with respect to the lateral tibial slope, has recently been identified as an intrinsic factor associated with primary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. However, no studies have investigated the influence of MBA and other intrinsic factors excluding the influence of extrinsic factors, especially the level of sports activity. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose was to evaluate the intrinsic factors of primary ACL injury while controlling for the effect of sports activity level. It was hypothesized that the MBA would be a significant factor associated with ACL deficiency, irrespective of the sports activity level. Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: A total of 143 knees in 139 patients with ACL injuries (group A) and matched controls (matched by age, sex, and Tegner Activity Scale score), 143 knees in 143 patients without ACL injuries (group N), were evaluated. Patient height, body weight, body mass index, lateral posterior tibial slope angle (LPTSA), medial posterior tibial slope angle (MPTSA), MBA of the lateral meniscus, and relative posterior inclination angle (RPIA; MBA - LPTSA) were evaluated between the 2 groups. Results: The MBA (group A: 22.3°± 4.5°; group N: 29.1°± 3.7°) and RPIA (group A: 15.0°± 6.1°; group N: 24.1°± 4.1°) were significantly ( Conclusion: A low MBA with a cutoff value of 25.2° was the most significant independent factor associated with primary ACL injury when controlling for differences in sports activity level.
