Finite element analysis of the pelvis including gait muscle forces: an investigation into the effect of rami fractures on load transmission.
Article in Journal of experimental orthopaedics, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
backgroundThe objective of the study is to investigate the load transmission within the pelvic ring under physiological loading during gait and to correlate these results with clinical findings. In a second approach, we analysed how load distribution is altered by fractures of the anterior pelvic ring.
methodsMuscle forces and joint reaction forces are calculated by inverse dynamics and implemented in a finite element pelvis model including the joints.
resultsWith the intact configuration and according to the moment of the gait, left and right superior and inferior rami show the highest stresses of the model, corresponding to the typical location of an anterior pelvic ring fracture. A superior ramus fracture induces larger stresses to the lower ramus and a slight increase of stresses on the posterior structures. A total disruption of anterior rami redirects the loads to the back of the pelvis and introduces significantly higher stresses on the posterior structures.
conclusionsThis investigation enhances the understanding of the biomechanics of the pelvis and highlights the important role of the rami in load carrying and in maintaining integrity of the pelvic ring.
