Analysis of predictive factors for post-traumatic osteoarthritis and poor outcomes in acetabular fractures treated surgically.
Article in Acta orthopaedica et traumatologica turcica, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
objectiveThe aims of this study were (i) to assess the radiological and functional outcomes of surgically treated displaced acetabular fractures and (ii) to analyze the predictive factors of poor outcomes following surgery.
methodsA total of 119 patients (24 female, 95 male) who were operated between 2009 and 2019 were included in the study. The mean age was 47.5 years (range=18-61). The mean follow-up was 92.3 months (range=24-120). Failure to preserve the biological hip joint, as treated with total hip replacement or the Girdlestone procedure, was defined as a poor outcome. Patients' demographic information, comorbidities, fracture types, surgical approach, concomitant injuries, reduction quality, and complications were analyzed. Computed tomography was utilized to evaluate the fracture type and quality of reduction. Factors affecting poor outcomes were analyzed by logistic regression analysis. The modified Harris Hip Score was also used to evaluate the functional status.
resultsThe poor outcome rate was 10.1%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that dislocation (odds ratio: 44.87, confi- dence interval: 3.18-633.22, P=.005), wound site problems (odds ratio: 9.09, confidence interval: 1.01-81.12, P=.04), reduction quality (odds ratio: 77.88, confidence interval: 5.95-1019.07, P = .001), and diabetes (odds ratio: 7.29, confidence interval: 1.01-52.07, P = .04) were associated with poor outcomes. Eight of the 12 patients with poor outcomes had a fair Harris Hip Score, and 4 had a poor Harris Hip Score. The relationship between poor outcomes and Harris Hip Score was found to be significant (P < .001).
conclusionFor a favorable functional outcome in acetabular fractures, preservation of the biological hip joint should be a top priority. The accompanying dislocation and the patient's diabetes appear to be uncontrollable factors for the poor prognosis. Good reduction qual- ity and wound infection protection are modifiable factors. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, Therapeutic Study.
