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

backgroundSeparation of the pubic symphysis with corresponding diastasis can be stabilized by symphyseal plating.

objectiveWhich pelvic injuries are stabilized with symphyseal plating and what is their outcome? MATERIAL AND

methodsA retrospective evaluation of 64 patients who underwent symphyseal plating over a period of 24 months was conducted.

resultsOf the patients 56 were male and 8 female with a mean age of 44 years (SD ± 17 years). The main cause of the pelvic injuries were traffic accidents. The distribution according to the AO fracture classification was 14 × B1, 10 × B2, 5 × B3, 23 × C1, 9 × C2 and 3 × C3 injuries. The distribution according to the Young and Burgess classification showed 9 × APC I, 18 × APC II, 13 × APC III, 9 × LC I, 3 × LC II, 2 × LC III and 10 × VS injuries. The mean Injury Severity Score (ISS) was 32 (SD ± 17) and the mean inpatient stay was 29 days (SD ± 16 days; positive correlation p ≤ 0.001). Radiological implant loosening occurred in 52 patients. 14 patients required treatment for severe complications. The leading reason for revision surgery was implant failure (n = 8).

conclusionThese observations suggest that radiological signs of implant loosening are commonly observed but rarely the reason for revision surgery. Complete implant failures, however; occur mainly within the first postoperative weeks and require early revision. A timely clarification by additional X-ray imaging should be carried out if this is suspected.
