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

backgroundMinimally invasive surgery for pelvic fracture using anterior ring internal fixator system is increasing gradually, and the way to insert the fixation screws in the fixation system is the key technical points of the method. However, there have been few studies on insertion of fixation screws for the anterior pelvic ring internal fixator system.

objectiveTo identify safe channels for fixation screws in the anterior pelvic fixator system and provide the anatomical basis for insertion of fixation screws in clinical operation.

methodsScrew insertion was simulated into a total of 40 pelvic finite element models as well as 16 fresh pelvic specimens, and the channel parameters were measured.

resultsFinite elements (male, female) include: screws in ilium: length 114.4 ± 4.1 and 107.6 ± 8.3 mm, respectively; diameter 11.7 ± 0.5 and 10.0 ± 0.6 mm, distance between screw and anterior inferior iliac spine: 5.5 ± 1.0 and 5.6 ± 1.0 mm, angle of coronal plane 55.8° ± 2.4° and 50.6° ± 3.1°, angle of sagittal plane 26.6° ± 1.0° and 24.5° ± 1.9° and angle of horizontal plane 64.9 ± 3.7 and 58.1 ± 3.1; screws in pubis: length 47.0 ± 2.0 and 39.8 ± 3.9 mm, diameter 7.1 ± 0.4 and 6.1 ± 0.4 mm. Specimens (male, female) include: distance between screw and anterior inferior iliac spine: 5.5 ± 0.5 and 5.6 ± 0.7 mm, angle of coronal plane 55.9° ± 1.3° and 50.7° ± 1.5°, angle of sagittal plane 26.7° ± 0.5° and 24.1° ± 0.9° and angle of horizontal plane 64.8° ± 0.6° and 58.8° ± 0.8°. In the comparison between female and male in each group, differences in distances between screws and anterior inferior iliac spine and median line of symphysis pubis (P > 0.05) were not statistically significant; differences in the remaining parameters were statistically significant (P < 0.05).

conclusionsIf surgeons paid attention to sex differences, select screws of appropriate diameter and length and hold the insertion position and direction, screws in the anterior pelvic ring fixation system could be safely inserted.
