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

Pelvic-ring-injuries are bony and/or ligamentous disruptions that might lead to pelvic instabilities and asymmetries. For surgical treatment, knowledge of the different possible approaches and stabilization-techniques is essential. From 2003 to 2017, we analyzed all complications in operative and non-operative treatment of pelvic-ring-injuries in our institution. Besides complication rates, we describe the reachable anatomical structures for different surgical approaches to the pelvic-ring focusing on strategies to reduce surgical complications. Of 1848 patients with a pelvic fracture, 1463 patients had a pelvic-ring-fracture. We found an overall complication-rate of 14.4%. For reducing approach-related morbidity, preoperative planning and knowledge of approach-related complications is important.
