Digital Anatomy to Improve Screw Insertion Techniques for Plate-Screw Fixation of the Pubic Body.

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
objectivesThis study aims to investigate screw insertion sites on the pubic body and the safe screw insertion parameters of a plate-screw fixation system based on the premise of avoiding damage to the inguinal canal and disruption of the rectus abdominis at the pubic symphysis and pubic crest. RESEARCH
methodsExcluding cases with poor image quality, tumors, malformations, and fractures, the data of 80 healthy adults (40 males and 40 females aged from 21 to 83 years old, with an average age of 51.65 years) undergoing a computed tomography (CT) scan of the pelvis between January and June of 2017 were collected from Shandong Provincial Hospital. The CT scans were imported to Mimics® software to reconstruct three-dimensional pelvic models. A 3.5 mm pelvic reconstruction plate was placed starting at the outer edge of the pubic tubercle and along the pelvic brim. The two innermost screw insertion sites were marked. The safe range for the screw insertion sites was then determined. The screw insertion plane was selected to measure the safe screw insertion parameters. The length of the screw, the direction of insertion, and intersex differences were then explored via statistical analyses.
resultsThe medial inclination angles (MIAs) of the screw insertion plane for males and females were 30.42±7.95° and 32.88±10.65°, respectively, with no statistically significant differences. For the medial screw, the maximum anterior inclination angle (MAIA), the maximum screw length, and the maximum posterior inclination angle (MPIA) were 46.51±4.01°, 12.40±9.53 mm, and 11.78±10.22° on average, respectively, with no significant differences by gender (P>0.05). For the lateral screw, the MAIA was 10.35±9.46° and showed no gender differences (P>0.05), but the male group had a greater MPIA (male 11.80±11.00° vs. female 6.23±7.91°, P<0.05) and maximum screw length (male 55.71±6.36 mm vs. female 48.68±8.65, P<0.001). For the tangential screw, the maximum screw length, MIA, and anterior/posterior inclination angle (APIA) were 52.19±8.33 mm, 31.65±9.42°, and 7.53±10.18°, respectively, with no significant differences in the angles by gender (both P>0.05), although the screw length in the male group was significantly longer than that in the female group.
conclusionsInsertion of two screws into the pubic body through a plate from the lateral side of the pubic tubercle is safe and can maintain the origin of the rectus abdominis and the integrity of the inguinal canal compared to traditional plate-screw fixation. Considering that the pubic body is thinner on the lateral side, we suggest a more medial inclination angle for the lateral screw.
