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

objectiveTo explore the effectiveness of a new H-shaped anatomical titanium plate in treatment of posterior wall/posterior column acetabular fractures.

methodsBetween March 2012 and April 2019, 46 patients with acetabular fractures involving posterior wall/posterior column were treated with the new H-shaped anatomical titanium plates. There were 28 males and 18 females. The age ranged from 20 to 70 years, with an average of 45.5 years. Among the patients, 34 cases were injured by traffic accidents and 12 cases by falling from height. The time from injury to operation ranged from 2 to 14 days, with an average of 7 days. According to Letournel-Judet classification, there were 12 cases of posterior wall fractures, 1 case of posterior column fracture, 3 cases of transverse fractures, 9 cases of transverse fractures involving posterior walls, 8 cases of posterior column and posterior wall fractures, 2 cases of anterior column and posterior semi-transverse fractures, 3 cases of T-shaped fractures, and 8 cases of double column fractures. Matta reduction standard was used to evaluate fracture reduction and Merle d'Aubign-Postel score was used to evaluate hip joint function.

resultsAll operations were successfully completed. The time of posterior operation was 60-120 minutes, with an average of 80 minutes. The amount of intraoperative blood loss ranged from 200 to 600 mL, with an average of 300 mL. All the incisions healed by first intention and no infection, deep vein thrombosis, or sciatic nerve injury occurred. All 46 patients were followed up 6-72 months, with an average of 37 months. According to Matta reduction standard, 40 cases obtained anatomic reduction, 4 cases satisfactory reduction, 2 cases unsatisfactory reduction, and the satisfaction rate was 95.7% (44/46). All fractures healed, and the healing time was 3-6 months, with an average of 4.3 months. No internal fixation failure occurred during the follow-up. At last follow-up, the Merle d'Aubign-Postel score ranged from 6 to 18 (mean, 15.5), including 38 cases of excellent, 4 cases of good, 2 cases of fair, and 2 cases of poor, with an excellent and good rate of 91.3% (42/46). Heterotopic ossification occurred in 4 cases, traumatic arthritis in 4 cases, and osteonecrosis of femoral head in 2 cases after operation.

conclusionFor acetabular fractures involving posterior wall/posterior column, the new H-shaped anatomical titanium plate can provide stable fixation, satisfactory reduction, and good recovery of hip function.
