Infected closed pelvic fractures in two adults - Case report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionInfections following closed fractures in immunocompetent adults are rare but can have significant consequences if not promptly diagnosed. CASE PRESENTATION: We present two cases of immunocompetent adults admitted to a hospital in Tanzania with closed pelvic fractures who were found to have infections intraoperatively. Both patients responded well to treatment with one delaying to clear the infection. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Because it rarely happens infected closed fractures are difficult to diagnose prior to surgery and treatment is controversial, most authors propose priority should be getting the fracture to unite then treatment of infection.
conclusionThis report adds to the existing literature on infections following closed fractures and highlights the importance of considering infection in closed fractures and tailoring management strategies to individual patient factors.
