A Case Report of a Vertical Zone III Sacral Fracture Due to Acute Lower Extremity Hyperabduction While Windsurfing.

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
Typically associated with motor vehicle accidents and falls, sacral fractures result from sudden compression of the iliac wings, placing bidirectional traction forces on the anterior and/or posterior aspects of the sacrum. Here we describe a vertical Zone III sacral fracture caused by sudden, forceful hyperabduction of the lower extremities. To the authors' knowledge this is the first report of a Zone III sacral fracture caused by this mechanism which occurred when the patient encountered a large wave while windsurfing. Imaging revealed a longitudinal fracture to the anterior sacrum, with a concomitant Zone II fracture and pubic symphysis diastasis. The patient was treated using anterior fixation plating and posterior percutaneous pinning. The purpose of this study is to increase provider awareness of an often underdiagnosed fracture, alert water sports enthusiasts of the risks associated with windsurfing, describe signs and symptoms of this often overlooked fracture, and discuss treatment modalities based on radiographic and clinical assessments of fracture stability.
