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

introductionFailure to neutralize the different physiological forces acting on the inferior as well as the superior regions of the pubic symphysis, the long healing time, is blamed for the repeated failures of conventional superior symphyseal plating. MATERIAL AND

methodsA three years prospective case series study between January 2017 and December 2019 was done, to evaluate the radiological and the functional outcomes, using Matta/Tornetta and Majeed criteria respectively, of the combination of trans-symphyseal cross-screws configuration and superior symphyseal plate in Tile-type B1 pelvic injuries.

resultsThirty patients, 18 with anteroposterior compression type II and 12 with type III, with a mean follow-up of 20 months ±5 were included. Radiologically, 26 (86.6%) cases showed an excellent, one (3.3%) good and three (10%) fair outcome. Clinically, excellent outcome in 26 (86.6%) cases, good in two (6.6%) cases, and fair in two (6.6%). Intra-operative drill bit breakage occurred in three (10%) cases and was the only reported technical complication. Significant re-displacement was reported in three (10%) cases.

conclusionThe open trans-symphyseal cross-screws for fixation of the superior symphyseal plate is a simple, efficient, and safe technique with the biomechanical advantages of an extra-fixation point to the inferior symphysis together with a long and a strong bony anchorage.
