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

purposeTo determine the relation between pelvic symmetry, as measured by the cross-measurement technique, and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in terms of functional status and health-related quality of life.

methodsIn this prospective cohort study, X and Y measurements were taken according to the cross-measurement technique on AP radiographs of patients who were treated for an unstable pelvic ring injury in a level-1 trauma center. Patients completed PROMs at the time of admission (recalled pre-injury score) and one year following their injury, reporting their functional status with the Short Musculoskeletal Function Assessment (SMFA-NL), specifically the lower extremity dysfunction (LED), problems with daily activities (PDA) and mental and emotional problems (MEP) subscales, and quality of life with EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D). Subgroup analyses were also performed. PROMs were used to analyze the relation between pelvic symmetry and patient-reported outcome, using Spearman's Rank correlation coefficients.

resultsA total of 130 patients (mean age 58 (SD18) years) with an unstable pelvic ring injury were included, of which 95 (73%) sustained type-B injuries and 35 (27%) type-C injuries. Sixty-three (49%) patients were treated operatively. The median pelvic symmetry ratio was 1.01 (IQR: 0.05). Weak or no correlations were found between the pelvic symmetry scores and the outcome measurements (Spearman's correlation coefficients: LED r = 0.09; PDA r = 0.11; MEP r=-0.02; and EQ-5D r=-0.08). Subgroup analyses revealed no correlations.

conclusionsNo significant relation was found between pelvic symmetry, measured radiologically, and functional status and health-related quality of life, one year following an unstable pelvic ring injury.
