1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 effects of residual displacement on the functional outcome of the patient are not distinctly known and the acceptability criteria of residual displacement of the pelvic ring remain disputed. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of residual displacement on functional outcome in pelvic ring injuries. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 49 patients with pelvic ring injuries (both operative and non-operative) were followed up for six months. Anteroposterior (AP), Vertical and rotational displacements were measured at admission, after surgery and at six months. Resultant displacement (vector addition of AP and vertical displacement) was taken for comparison. Displacement was graded as excellent, good, fair and poor according to Matta's criteria. Functional outcome assessment was done at six months using Majeed score. Work adjusted Majeed score was calculated for non-working patients by taking the percentage score.

resultsWe compared the means of residual displacement with functional outcome (Excellent/Good/Fair) and found that there was no significant difference between the groups in operative (P=0.33) or non-operative patients (P=0.09). This showed that patients with relatively higher residual displacement also had satisfactory functional outcomes. The functional outcomes were compared after dividing the residual displacement into 2 groups: <10 mm and >10 mm and no significant difference was found in outcomes for either operative or non-operative patients.

conclusionUp to 10 mm of residual displacement is acceptable in pelvic ring injuries. More prospective studies with a longer follow up are needed for determination of correlation between reduction and functional outcome.
