Trans-sacral bar osteosynthesis provides low mortality and high mobility in patients with fragility fractures of the pelvis.

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
Operative treatment of osteoporosis-associated fragility fractures of the pelvis (FFP) and the sacrum is advocated with immobilizing or longstanding pain, fracture progression and displacement. We analyzed clinical outcomes regarding mobility, quality of life, and mortality of patients with FFP treated with trans-sacral bar (TB) osteosynthesis through S1. Demographics, clinical data, and operation-related data of patients with an FFP treated with TB were acquired from chart review. We assessed mortality, quality of life (EQ-5D), mobility, and residential status at follow-up. Seventy-nine females and six males with a median age of 78.0 years (IQR 73-84) were included, median follow-up was 3.2 years. Medical complications during hospitalization occurred in 28%. Operative revision was carried out in 15% of patients. One-year survival was 90.4%, this was associated with shorter preoperative and total length of stay in hospital (p 0.006 and 0.025, respectively). At follow-up, 85% lived at home and 82% walked with or without walking aid. Higher EQ-5D was reached with higher mobility status and living at home (p < 0.001 and < 0.001, respectively). TB osteosynthesis is an adequate and reliable method for fixation of FFP in the posterior pelvic ring to ensure timely mobilization. Shorter preoperative and total length of stay had lower mortality rates, advocating a standardized management protocol to limit time delay to operative therapy. Patients treated with TB osteosynthesis had low 1-year mortality of less than 10%.
