Robot-assisted treatment of unstable pelvic fractures with a percutaneous iliac lumbar double rod fixation combined with a percutaneous pelvic anterior ring INFIX fixation.

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
objectiveTo investigate the clinical effect of robot-assisted treatment of unstable pelvic fractures through a percutaneous iliac lumbar double rod fixation combined with a percutaneous pelvic anterior ring INFIX (internal fixator) fixation.
methodsThis was a retrospective analysis of 17 cases of unstable anterior and posterior pelvic ring fractures treated between April 2016 and October 2018 by the third Ti-robot system produced in China. The posterior ring was supported with an iliac lumbar double rod fixation and the anterior ring with an INFIX fixation. Operation time and peri-operative bleeding were recorded. The reduction of pelvic fracture displacement was evaluated by Matta score, the post-operative results were evaluated according to Majeed score, and the complications were recorded.
resultsTwelve males and five females, aged 21-71 years (mean 40.1 ± 3.8 years) were followed up for three to 12 months, (median 6.7 months). Tile typing showed seven B1 type, two B2 type, and eight C1 type cases. Operation time was 90-160 minutes (mean 112.9 ± 16.8 minutes), bleeding was 80-150 mL (mean 105.9 ± 20.6 mL). X-ray three to five days after operation was evaluated by Matta score as excellent in 15 and good in two cases. Majeed score at last follow-up was 85-98 points, excellent in 17 cases. Two cases of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis received an inferior vena cava filter. The filters were removed after two weeks. One case showed incision fat liquefaction healing and the wound healed three weeks after surgery.
conclusionOrthopedic robot-assisted treatment of unstable pelvic fractures by a percutaneous iliac lumbar double rod fixation and a percutaneous pelvic anterior ring INFIX fixator was minimally invasive and feasible. A prospective study is needed.
