Immediate full weight bearing after pelvic percutaneous fixation by screw for simple acetabular and pelvic ring fractures in patients older than sixty five years.
Observational study in International orthopaedics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeThe aim of this study was to assess the walking and weight-bearing abilities of patients older than 65 years with a simple acetabular or pelvic ring fracture treated with pelvic percutaneous screwing (PPS).
methodsThis study included 27 patients. This was a retrospective, single-centre observational study conducted in a level 1 trauma centre from September 2019 to April 2021. All patients older than 65 years who underwent PPS for an acetabular or pelvic ring fracture were included.
resultsAll patients were able to walk and bear weight at one day after PPS. The mean walking distance increased from 19.4 m the day after the operation to 59.8 m, 497.8 m, and 1402 m at discharge, three and six weeks after the operation, respectively. The average pain visual analog scale scores before and after the operation were 4.1 (range, 3.6-5.1; standard deviation [SD], 0.63) and 0.9 (range, 0.5-1.2; SD, 0.25), respectively (p < .0001). The average daily dose of paracetamol used before and after the operation was 2.2 (range, 1.7-3.1; SD, 0.59) g/d and 1.3 (range, 0.6-1.7; SD, 0.40) g/d, respectively (p = .0232). The average daily dose of morphine used before and after the operation was 5.7 (range, 4.7-6.7; SD, 0.76) mg/d and 1.6 (range, 0.5-2.9; SD, 1.09) mg/d, respectively (p = .0001).
conclusionAll included patients were able to walk at one day after PPS. PPS was associated with reduced pain as well as a reduction in paracetamol and morphine use.
