Functional outcomes more than 5 years following acetabulum fracture.

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
objectivesThe purposes of this project were to evaluate functional outcomes more than 5 years after acetabulum fracture and to determine factors related to function.
methodsThis retrospective study consisted of 205 adult patients treated for acetabulum fracture who completed the Musculoskeletal Function Assessment (MFA) a minimum of 5 years following injury. The MFA includes survey of daily activities, gross and fine mobility, social and work function, sleeping, and mood. Higher scores indicate worse function.
resultsTwo hundred five patients with 210 fractures, 69.3% of whom were male, with mean age of 45.7 and mean body mass index 30.1 were included after mean 128 months follow-up. Fracture patterns included OTA/AO 62A (37.1%), 62B (40.5%), or 62C (22.4%), and 80.0% were treated surgically. Late complications were noted in 35.2%, including posttraumatic arthrosis (PTA: 19.5%), osteonecrosis and/or heterotopic ossification. Mean MFA of all patients was 31.4, indicating substantial residual dysfunction. Worse MFA scores were associated with morbid obesity (body mass index >40: 42.3,
conclusionsMore than 5 years following acetabulum fracture, substantial residual dysfunction was noted, as demonstrated by mean MFA. Worse outcomes were associated with late complications and tobacco smoking. While fracture pattern was not associated with outcome, those patients who had late complications, mostly PTA, had worse outcomes.
