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

Injuries of the acetabulum are often challenging in treatment and aftercare. One reason is the required surgical approach, which has high complication rates, including vascular lesion, hernias, and wound infection. We present an alternative endoscopic-assisted approach for the internal fixation of acetabular fractures to avoid the Pfannenstiel incision. An endoscopic approach similar to that used for endoscopic hernia surgery was used. The ilioinguinal approach's lateral window was used to achieve reduction and insertion of a reconstruction plate. The purpose of this study is to describe a minimally invasive technique as a possible method to reduce hospitalization and complications. Another goal is to give detailed technical recommendations and to assess the potential pitfalls of this surgical approach. The APACHE technique is a safe and suitable minimally-invasive approach for the successful treatment of complex acetabular fractures and can be considered in similar cases.
