Single Ilioinguinal Approach to Treat Complex Acetabular Fractures with Quadrilateral Plate Involvement: Outcomes Using a Novel Dynamic Anterior Plate-Screw System.

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
objectivesTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of a novel fixation technique referred to as the dynamic anterior plate-screw system for quadrilateral plate (DAPSQ) for complex acetabular fractures with quadrilateral plate involvement through the single ilioinguinal approach.
methodsA total of 32 patients with acetabular fractures, selected between January 2009 and March 2016, were managed by DAPSQ with "quadrilateral screws" through single ilioinguinal approach. The primary outcomes measure was the reduction quality evaluated according to the Matta radiological criteria, and the functional outcomes were evaluated by the modified Merle d'Aubigné score at the last follow-up. Secondary outcomes were postoperative complications and intraoperative conditions included, for instance, operation time and blood loss.
resultsOf these 32 consecutive patients, 19, 9, and 4 were classified as both columns, anterior column posterior hemi-transverse, and T-shaped fractures, respectively, and with an average of 47 months' follow-up. Anatomic reduction was obtained in 19 cases (59%), imperfect reduction in 9 cases (28%), and poor reduction in 4 cases (13%). The modified Merle d'Aubigné scores were excellent in 15 cases (47%), good in 13 cases (41%), fair in 2 cases (6%), and poor in 2 cases (6%). Three cases sustained temporary lateral femoral cutaneous nerve injuries. One patient had a superficial wound infection that resolved after debridement. Five patients had posttraumatic arthritis; one of them underwent total hip arthroplasty at 46 months. No cases had quadrilateral screws entering the hip joint.
conclusionThe use of DAPSQ with quadrilateral screws is an effective and safe choice for complex acetabular fractures with quadrilateral plate involvement through the single ilioinguinal approach.
