1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundPelvic fractures are rare but severe injuries. The influence of a concomitant abdominal trauma on the quality of care regarding operative parameters, such as reduction quality and the clinical course in pelvic injuries has not yet been sufficiently investigated.

methodsThis study retrospectively analyzed the prospective consecutive data of patients with pelvic injuries treated at the BG Trauma Center in Tübingen in the years 2003-2017. Demographic, clinical and operative parameters were recorded and compared between two groups (isolated pelvic fracture vs. combined abdominal/pelvic trauma).

resultsA total of 1848 patients with pelvic injuries were treated during this period and 18.6% had a concomitant abdominal trauma. The mean age was 62.3 ± 23.1 years. Comparing the two groups, patients with a combination of pelvic and abdominal trauma were significantly younger (46.3 ± 20.3 years vs. 70.6 ± 20.8 years; p < 0.001). Both the overall complication rate (31.2% vs. 9.4%; p < 0.001) and mortality (5.0% vs. 1.7%; p = 0.001) were significantly higher in the group with a combination of injuries. The time until definitive surgery of the pelvis was significantly longer in the group with combined injuries (6.0 ± 6.4 days vs. 4.5 ± 4.4 days; p = 0.002). The results of postoperative reduction did not differ between the two groups.

conclusionPatients with a pelvic injuries have a concomitant abdominal trauma in approximately 20% of the cases. The clinical course is significantly prolonged in patients with a combined injury and morbidity and mortality rates are increased; however, the quality of the postoperative results is not influenced by a concomitant abdominal injury.
