Factors affecting quality of life after pelvic fracture.

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
introductionFunctional outcome and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) after pelvis fracture is suboptimal; majority of the patients do not return to their preinjury activities. Many researchers reported that late morbidity in pelvis fracture is associated with severity of the fracture, associated trauma, pelvic fracture-related complications and methods of treatment. MATERIAL AND
methodsOne hundred and twelve patients with pelvis fracture who were treated either conservatively (n = 88) or surgically (n = 24) with a minimum of two years follow up were evaluated clinically and radiologically. The clinical outcome was evaluated using Majeed score and self-reported Short Musculoskeletal Function Assessment (SMFA). Their HRQOL was evaluated using the 36-item Short Form Survey (SF-36) and WHOQOL-BREF questionnaires. The fracture-displacement in the anterior or posterior pelvis ring was measured from the anteroposterior radiograph or inlet/outlet view.
resultsThe average Majeed score was 76.65 ± 14.73 (range, 36 to 96). There were 81 patients with good to excellent outcomes and 31 patients with poor to fair outcomes. The average SF-36 Physical Component Summary (PCS) score was 47.71 ± 7.88 (range, 27.3 to 61.5) and SF-36 Mental Component Summary (MCS) was 49.20 ± 9.37 (range, 23.1 to 56.8). The functional level of the general population in the physical and mental domain was achieved in 48.23% and 65.3% of pelvic-fractured patients respectively. General population norms were achieved in 56.3%, 63.4%, 65.2% and 84.8% of patients in WHOQOL-BREF domain one, two, three and four respectively. The patients had significantly worse functional outcome and HRQOL if residual displacement was > 1 cm. Age, sex, associated injuries and injury mechanism were not affecting the HRQOL in patients with acceptable residual displacement of ≤ 1 cm.
conclusionPelvic fracture with the residual displacement of ≤ 1 cm in the sacroiliac joint/symphysis pubis result in better functional outcome and HRQOL. Injury mechanism and associated injury have no impact on the HRQOL if the residual displacement is within the acceptable limit.
