Posterior approaches to the acetabulum.
Review in Archives of orthopaedic and trauma surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Posterior approaches, particularly the Kocher-Langenbeck approach, remain the workhorses in the treatment of acetabular fractures. Various modifications have been developed, each offering specific advantages depending on surgical requirements. The modified Gibson approach, for example, is suggested to provide enhanced visualization of the superior acetabulum, although recent cadaveric studies have not consistently substantiated this benefit. The Ganz approach, which involves bigastric trochanteric osteotomy with safe surgical hip dislocation, is particularly advantageous for managing complex and comminuted posterior acetabular fractures, as it enables a 360° view of the acetabulum and femoral head. Overall, posterior approaches are associated with low rates of complications, with heterotopic ossification being the most prevalent. The choice of surgical approach and patient positioning should be guided by the surgeon's preference and expertise, tailored to the specific fracture pattern and patient characteristics.
