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

introductionOpen book fractures are challenging injuries oftentimes requiring surgical treatment. The current treatment of choice is symphyseal plating, which requires extensive surgery and entirely limits physiological movement of the symphyseal joint, frequently resulting in implant failure. Therefore, we investigated the biomechanical properties of a semi-rigid implant (modified SpeedBridge MATERIALS AND

methodsNine synthetic symphyseal joints were dissected creating an open book fracture. The different osteosynthesis methods (plating, modified SpeedBridge

resultsSymphyseal plating for the treatment of open book fractures proved to be a rigid osteosynthesis significantly limiting the physiological mobility of the symphyseal joint (dislocation: 0.08 ± 0.01 mm) compared to the tape sutures (dislocation: triangle technique 0.27 ± 0.07 mm, criss-cross technique 0.23 ± 0.05 mm) regarding horizontal tension (p < 0.01). Both modified SpeedBridge

conclusionsSymphyseal plating proved to be the osteosynthesis method with the highest rigidity. The modified SpeedBridge
