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

Computer-assisted preoperative planning of pelvic fracture reduction surgery has the potential to increase the accuracy of the surgery and to reduce complications. However, the diversity of the pelvic fractures and the disturbance of small fracture fragments present a great challenge to perform reliable automatic preoperative planning. In this paper, we present a comprehensive and automatic preoperative planning pipeline for pelvic fracture surgery. It includes pelvic fracture labeling, reduction planning of the fracture, and customized screw implantation. First, automatic bone fracture labeling is performed based on the separation of the fracture sections. Then, fracture reduction planning is performed based on automatic extraction and pairing of the fracture surfaces. Finally, screw implantation is planned using the adjoint fracture surfaces. The proposed pipeline was tested on different types of pelvic fracture in 14 clinical cases. Our method achieved a translational and rotational accuracy of 2.56 mm and 3.31° in reduction planning. For fixation planning, a clinical acceptance rate of 86.7% was achieved. The results demonstrate the feasibility of the clinical application of our method. Our method has shown accuracy and reliability for complex multi-body bone fractures, which may provide effective clinical preoperative guidance and may improve the accuracy of pelvic fracture reduction surgery.
