A retrospective analysis of minimally invasive internal fixation versus nonoperative conservative management of pelvic ring fragility fractures and the elderly.

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
objectiveWe aimed to investigate the adoption of treatment patterns for hip fractures combined with minimally invasive surgical treatment of fragility fractures of the pelvis in older individuals and reviewed and analysed the treatment efficacy and feasibility. METHODS AND DATA: From September 2017 to February 2021, 135 older individuals with fragility fractures of the pelvis were admitted to our hospital. We retrospectively analysed patients who received surgical or conservative treatments. The general preoperative data, including sex, age, disease duration, cause of injury, AO/OTA type, BMI, bone mineral density, time from injury to admission, time from injury to surgery, ASA classification, number of underlying diseases, mean bed rest, clinical fracture healing, VAS score and Majeed functional score, were recorded.
resultsThe mean follow-up time for all 135 patients was 10.5 ± 3.6 months. Among 135 patients, 95 survived, and 11 and 29 patients passed after the surgical (mortality rate = 17.74%) and conservative (mortality rate = 39.73%) treatments, respectively. The average follow-up time for the 95 surviving patients was 14.5 ± 1.8 months. The Majeed and VAS scores for the operation group were significantly better than those of the conservative group. The bed rest and fracture healing times were also shorter in the surgical treatment group than in the conservative group.
conclusionThe use of a minimally invasive surgical treatment combined with the geriatric hip fracture treatment model to treat fragility fractures of the pelvis improved the quality of life in older patients.
