Iliac intramedullary stabilization for Type IIIA fragility fractures of the pelvis.
Article in Scientific reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
There have been few reports on fixation of Rommens classification Type IIIA fragility fractures of the pelvis (FFPs). Here, we present our less invasive surgical technique, called iliac intramedullary stabilization (ILIS), for the internal fixation of Type IIIA FFPs. The technique involves a closed reduction, termed the femur internal rotation reduction method (FIRM), whereby the fracture fragments are repositioned using lateral rotators by internally rotating the femur while the patient is in the prone position. Two iliac screws are inserted on the ilium bilaterally via the supra-acetabular bone canal during FIRM and connected with two transverse rods and two cross connectors. We refer to this internal fixation procedure as ILIS. We retrospectively recruited patients with Type IIIA fractures, treated using this procedure, at our institute between October 2017 and October 2019. We evaluated operative and post-operative outcomes. We enrolled 10 patients (9 women and 1 man; mean age, 85.2 years) who were followed up for over 6 months. All patients suffered FFPs after falling from a standing position. The mean operative time was 145.1 (range, 94-217) minutes, and the mean blood loss was 258.5 (range, 100-684) ml. All patients were allowed full weight bearing from post-operative day 1. All patients achieved bone union and regained their pre-injury walking ability at 6 months after surgery without evident secondary displacement. In conclusion, our ILIS technique allows less invasive internal fixation of Type IIIA FFPs with adequate stability for full weight bearing from post-operative day 1.
