Management of acetabular fractures in the geriatric patient.
Article in SICOT-J, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03713853 (GATOR), which is not on this map. Cited by 20 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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.

Abstract
introductionOpen reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) is standard care for most acetabular fractures. With increasing numbers of acetabular fractures in the elderly, the risk of revision surgery and conversion to total hip replacement (THR) is increasing. Alarmingly, about 20-25% of acetabular fractures in the elderly following ORIF needed revision and conversion to delayed THR.
methodsRecently, prognostic factors have been identified, which correlate with an increased risk of worse outcomes following ORIF of acetabular fractures in the elderly patient. Patient risk factors include, for example, age, comorbidities, and degree of osteoporosis. Injury risk factors mainly include the fracture pattern.
resultsThe concept of primary THR following acetabular fractures is an alternative to ORIF, especially in the elderly patient. Satisfactory outcomes have been reported in different studies for primary THR following acetabular fractures in the elderly. The surgeon should be aware of strict selection criteria in order to achieve these satisfactory outcomes. Therefore, an individualized treatment plan has to be defined for elderly patients following acetabular fractures. DISCUSSION: Here, the advantages and disadvantages of ORIF versus THR following acetabular fractures in the elderly are discussed.
