Succession of failures in surgical management of fragility fracture of the pelvis.

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
Case: We report a case of a 79-years old man who sustained a Fragility Fracture of the Pelvis (FFP) classified type IVb according to Rommens and Hofmann. After a delayed diagnosis with persistence of pain and loss of mobility, a bilateral sacroplasty was performed. Although pain relief was achieved, a fracture progression (FP) occurred with bilateral neurologic compression of L5 and S1 nerve roots with pain recurrence. A percutaneous ilio-lumbar reduction was attempted with cemented augmentation and bilateral ilio-sacral screwing. Reduction was not achieved and screws finally pulled-out. The patient died one year after institutionalization with a significant loss of mobility and autonomy. Conclusions: Misunderstanding in management of FFP according to Rommens and Hofmann recommendations can lead to bad results with fracture progression, implants failure, pain recurrence, loss of function, loss of autonomy and finally death of the patient.
