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

purposeTo determine the optimal position of reduction clamps applied to reduce transtectal transverse acetabular fractures approached through the anterior intrapelvic route.

methodsTranstectal transverse fractures were created in sawbone hemipelvis models. Fractures were reduced and held with a large pointed reduction clamp with one tine centered on the quadrilateral plate and the other placed in one of nine various positions on the pelvic brim accessible from the anterior intrapelvic (AIP) approach. Reduction was assessed by measuring maximum gapping and step-off at the joint surface.

resultsThe posterolateral pelvic brim clamp position provided the most accurate reduction with the smallest articular fracture gap (mean 1.09 ± 1.05 mm) and step-off (mean 0.87 ± 1.35 mm). This clamp position, compared with the other positions as a whole, also yielded the highest proportion of perfect reductions (0 mm maximum displacement) for both step-off (83% vs 34%; RR 2.4, 95% CI 1.7-3.2) and gap (88% vs 49%; RR 1.8, 95% CI 1.4 to 2.2).

conclusionsWhen clamping transtectal fractures through the AIP approach, positioning the clamp posterolaterally on the pelvic brim appears to provide the best reduction in this fracture model.
