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

backgroundThe triple pelvic osteotomy is an established surgical method with multiple modifications regarding surgical technique and choice of implant. The stability of the osteotomy is affected by numerous factors, and among these, the three-dimensional implant configuration is a scientifically less explored aspect.

methodsWe used a finite element model of a hemi-pelvis with a standardized triple osteotomy to calculate relative flexibility for loads in all translational degrees of freedom for five different implant configurations. Two of the configurations used entry points only feasible when implant removal was not necessary.

resultsThe stability of the osteotomy improved with an increased distance between the implants in the plane of the osteotomy as well as for a more perpendicular angle relative to the osteotomy plane. The implant configurations with more entry points available made this easier to adhere to.

conclusionThe use of bioabsorbable implants may provide better opportunities for optimal implant constructs which can, to a certain degree, compensate for the lesser mechanical stiffness of bioabsorbable polymers as compared to metal implants.
