Arthroscopic reduction and fixation of partial posterior wall acetabular fractures.
Article in Acta bio-medica : Atenei Parmensis, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
BACKGROUND AND
aimReduction and fixation of partial posterior wall fracture is usually performed with an open posterolateral approach. When the fragment may be fixed without a plate (with screws only), reduction and fixation may be also achieved via hip arthroscopy. To our knowledge no study described this technique. Aim of our study is to describe the surgical technique and to present the achieved outcomes and the occurred complications.
methodsSix cases of arthroscopic fixation of partial posterior wall fracture have been reviewed for the purpose of this study. Patients were treated arthroscopically if the fragment was not bigger than 25% of the posterior wall. Patient demographic, injury, and surgical variables as well as complications were recorded and retrospectively evaluated. Radiographic outcome was scored according to Matta's criteria on postoperative radiographs and clinical outcomes were evaluated with the modified Harris hip score.
resultsFracture reduction was classified as anatomic on post-operative x-rays in all patients. The mean clinical score was 98 points at one year follow-up. No patient developed symptomatic femoral head AVN, none had heterotopic ossification. In one patients a screw breakage occurred without clinical complications.
conclusionsArthroscopic reduction and fixation of partial posterior wall fracture is an effective treatment and showed good outcomes if a careful patients' selection is done.
