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

Management of periacetabular metastatic bone disease (MBD) is challenging, specifically if associated with bone loss or fracture. The aim of this study was to evaluate the complications and outcomes after undergoing peri-acetabular reconstruction using an 'ice-cream cone' pedestal cup endoprostheses for the most severe cases of (impending) pathological acetabular fractures. Fifty cases with severe periacetabular disease were identified. Acetabular defects were classified using the Metastatic Acetabular Classification (MAC). Pre- and post-operative mobility was assessed using the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status. Pain levels were assessed using a verbal rating scale. Surgical complications and patient survival were analysed; the Prognostic Immune Nutritional Index (PINI) was applied retrospectively to survival. There were 32 females and 18 males with a median age of 65 (41-88). Median post-operative follow-up was 16 months (IQR 5.5-28.5 months). Thirty-nine had complete, and 11, impending pathological fractures. The observed five-year survival was 19%, with a median survival of 16 months (IQR 5.8-42.5 months). Significantly worse survival was observed with PINI scores < 3.0 ( Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s13193-024-01917-x.
