Influence of direct radiography in decision making during orthopaedic trauma surgery: A prospective study.

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
Objective: To evaluate the effects of intraoperative direct radiography on the change in the patient's treatment and the reliability of fluoroscopy in orthopaedic trauma surgery operations. Methods: A total of 773 fractures were evaluated prospectively. The surgeons involved in the case were divided into three groups according to their experiences: less than 5 years, 5-10 years and over 10 years. After each case, the fracture classification, whether any interventions were made after the X-ray, and the interventions were recorded. Results: There were 312(40%) intra-articular, 200(26%) metaphyseal, 161(21%) diaphyseal, 81(10%) pelvis-acetabulum, and 19(3%) vertebrae fractures. Surgeons needed to intervene in 71(9.2%) cases after direct-radiography. There was a significant difference between the location of the fracture and the number of interventions (p < 0.001). The most frequent interventions were intra-articular distal radius, acetabulum and intra-articular calcaneus fractures, respectively. Surgeons with more than 10 years of the experience felt the need to make fewer changes, it was statistically significant compared to the other two groups (p = 0.001 for both). Conclusion: It was found that the final evaluation with x-ray images before the operation was completed in trauma surgery affected the surgeon's decision. In particular, intra-articular fractures, acetabular fractures, and vertebral fractures are recommended to evaluate fixation with direct radiography in addition to fluoroscopy images before ending the operation. Level of evidence: LEVEL III.
