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

Osteosynthesis of the acetabulum is complex and requires very careful planning and preoperative preparation. The goal is to achieve anatomical reduction without steps or gaps in the articular surface. If it has not been possible to achieve an optimal reconstruction, one has to consider whether it makes sense to carry out reosteosynthesis or revise the fixation. The risk of infection, heterotopic ossification, avascular necrosis of the femur and cartilage damage is much higher than with the primary procedure. Often, especially in older patients, it may make more sense to achieve fracture union and to implant a total hip prosthesis in due course. In younger patients, every attempt should be made to achieve optimum anatomical reduction and this may mean consideration of reosteosynthesis after careful planning and counselling of the patient. If reosteosynthesis is considered adequate imaging including a postoperative CT is essential as part of the planning. This article looks at the possible solutions for failed osteosynthesis of the acetabulum.
