Laparoscopic treatment of fourteen cases of pelvic ring disruption: a case series.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06634082 (Total Extraperitoneal Approach in Orthopedic Surgery), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 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.

Abstract
purposeOpen surgical approaches for the treatment of anterior pelvic arc lesions are associated with several complications. We present the first retrospective descriptive case series on the use of laparoscopy as an alternative.
methodsThis descriptive, retrospective, single-centre study enrolled all patients who underwent laparoscopy for the treatment of pelvic ring disruption between May 2020 and March 2022. The primary outcome was the procedure failure rate based on conversion to open surgery. Secondary outcomes were the duration of the surgical procedure, x-ray exposure, length of hospitalisation, postoperative pain assessment, and functional scores at the last follow-up.
resultsThe study included two females and 12 males. The mean age of the study participants was 44.2 (23-67) years. In total, nine (64.3%) patients had pubic symphysis disjunction, four (28.6%) had bilateral fractures of the obturator frames, and one (7%) had both. None of the patients required conversion to open surgery. The median operating times for symphysis pubis disruption, obturator frame fracture, and patients with both injuries were 90.0 (60-120), 135 (105-180), and 240 min, respectively. The median overall operating time was 102.5 (60-240) min. The median Iowa Pelvic Score and Majeed Functional Score at the last follow-up were 87 (70-99) and 84 (70-100), respectively.
conclusionLaparoscopic internal fixation is a reliable treatment for pelvic ring disruption. The clinical and radiological outcomes of our patients suggest the usefulness of this technique as an alternative to open approaches.
