Anatomical evaluation of the transpubic screw corridor based on a 3D statistical model of the pelvic ring.
Article in Scientific reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Retrograde transpubic screw fixation is a common procedure for the treatment of anterior pelvic ring fractures. With its sparing surgical approach and significant pain relief after screw fixations allowing early mobilisation, it has gained importance especially in the treatment of insufficiency fractures in elderly patients. However, positioning of transpubic screw osteosynthesis is not always possible due to narrowness and curvature of the screw corridor. The aim of the present study was to evaluate availability and length of the screw corridor using a 3D statistical model of the pelvic ring consisting out of 150 uninjured pelves. Virtual bore probes with a diameter of 7.5 mm were analysed as to accessibility, length and grey value distribution in Hounsfield Unit (HU). A transpubic corridor with a diameter of ≥ 7.5 mm was available in 185 of 300 investigated superior pubic rami with mean screw length of 131.7 mm. Accessibility of the screw corridor was higher in males than in females. However, screw length showed no systematic differences between the sexes or ethnicities. Analysis of the grey value distribution demonstrated the strongest bone to be located at the lateral ilium and the supraacetabular region.
