Graft remodelling of hamstring ACL graft and secondary meniscal lesions are affected by tibial slope and body mass index.

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 purpose of this study was to evaluate which factors are associated with the remodelling of an anterior cruciate ligament graft and secondary meniscal lesions. Methods: A retrospective longitudinal study was conducted to investigate the relationship between various factors and the occurrence of graft remodelling measured with the signal to noise quotient or the appearance of secondary meniscal lesion. Data were collected prospectively and analysed retrospectively for this study. The principal endpoint was the signal-to-noise quotient on MRI at 1 year postoperatively. The secondary endpoint was the appearance of 1-year secondary meniscal lesion on MRI only. The effect of the following parameters was investigated: gender, smoking status, age, body mass index, type of sport, preoperative meniscal lesion, lateral tibial slope measured on MRI, medial tibial slope measured on MRI and time from initial injury to surgery. Results: A total of 178 patients were enroled. The following factors were significantly and independently associated with the signal to noise quotient: body mass index > 25 kg/m Conclusion: Having a high body mass index and an increased lateral tibial slope were significantly and independently associated with poorer graft remodelling and may lead to secondary meniscal lesions. BMI and tibial slope are key clinical factors influencing graft healing and secondary meniscal lesions after ACL reconstruction. Level of Evidence: Level III.
