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

backgroundMetastatic bone disease (MBD) and its complications have a significant impact on patients' quality of life. Pathological fractures are a particular problem as they affect patient mobility and pose a high risk of non-union. The pelvis is frequently affected by MBD and its fixation is challenging. We present a case series of three pathological sacral fractures treated with a new minimally invasive bilateral fixed angle locking system. CASE PRESENTATION: Case 1 and 2 suffered a pathological transforaminal sacral fracture without adequate trauma in stage 4 carcinomas (gastric cancer and breast cancer). Both were initially treated with non-surgical treatment, which had only a limited effect and led to imminent immobility. Both were operated on with fluoroscopic navigation and underwent transsacral SACRONAIL

conclusionsThe cases show the advantages of the minimally invasive bilateral fixed angle locking system SACRONAIL
