In females with anterior knee pain, the infratuberositary contribution to external tibial torsion increases with torsion severity and does not correlate with tibial tubercle lateralisation.

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 perform a segmental analysis of tibial torsion in females with refractory anterior knee pain (AKP) and investigate the relationship between external tibial torsion (ETT) and the position of the tibial tubercle (TT). Methods: All disabling AKP patient refractory to adequate physical therapy, that presented to our clinic between January 2013 and December 2024 were retrospectively reviewed. Inclusion criteria: (1) females, (2) ≥18 years old, (3) torsional CT scan performed for strictly clinical reasons. Patients were classified into three groups according to ETT: normal (≤30°), moderate (31°-40°), and severe (>40°). ETT was measured proximally and distally to the TT, and the contribution of distal tibial torsion (DTT) to total tibial torsion (TTT) was calculated. TT lateralisation (TTL) relative to the tibial plateau's maximum transverse diameter was measured. Statistical analysis for comparisons was conducted using one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni correction and Student's Results: A total of 197 tibial CT scans from 101 AKP females were analysed. The percentage of contribution of DTT to TTT was significantly higher in the severe group (35.2%, SD 11.5) compared to the moderate (22.1%, SD 12.1) and normal (18.2%, SD 16.7) groups ( Conclusion: The infratuberositary contribution to pathological ETT increases with the severity of the torsion. Moreover, the degree of ETT does not affect TTL. Level of Evidence: Level IV.
