Potentially serious adverse effects from application of a circumferential compression device for pelvic fracture: A report of three cases.
Article in Trauma case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 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
Pelvic circumferential compression devices (PCCDs) have gained wide acceptance in the management of patients with pelvic fracture. These devices are considered safe due to their noninvasive nature and significant hazards associated with the use of PCCDs have not been reported previously. However, we present herein the cases of three patients who received PCCD application and eventually developed major complications presumably caused by PCCDs. As a result, one patient developed surgical site infection following internal fixation and required several debridements. Another patient ended up with a walking disability. The remaining patient eventually died from exsanguination following application of the PCCD. Clinicians should be aware of the potential for deleterious effects, including bladder rupture, muscle necrosis, and vessel injuries. In particular, application for acetabular fractures and prolonged application of PCCDs should be avoided.
