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

introductionTo compare the biomechanical outcomes of C1.1 posterior pelvic ring fractures treated with different numbers of LC-II screws and plate internal fixation. MATERIALS AND

methodsNine adult preserved pelvic specimens were used. After being measured by bone densitometry, the specimens were randomly divided into 3 groups of 3 pelvic specimens each. The C1.1 pelvic fractures were generated by iliac osteotomies and anterior pelvic ring osteotomies. The fractures were fixed and randomly divided into three groups: (1) one LC-II screw, (2) two LC-II screws, and (3) two reconstruction plates. The anterior pelvic rings were all fixed with pubic branch screws. A biomechanical testing machine loaded all specimens vertically, recording the displacement and ultimate load of the specimens to quantify the stiffness.

resultsWhen loads up to 1000 N were applied, the displacement of the iliac bone was close between the one LC-II screw and the two LC-II screw group specimens; (P > 0.05); when loads such as 1000 N, 1200 N and 1400 N were applied, there was no significant difference in displacement between the plate fixation group and the two LC-II screw fixation group (P > 0.05), both of which were superior to the one LC-II screw fixation group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in compressive stiffness between the two LC-II screw fixation groups and the plate fixation group (P > 0.05), and both were superior to the one LC-II screw fixation group (P < 0.05) the ultimate load of both the two LC-II screws and the steel plate is greater than that of one LC-II screw (1.74 times the ultimate load of one LC-II screw for the two LC-II screws and 1.83 times the ultimate load of one LC-II screw for the steel plate).

conclusionFor posterior pelvic ring fractures of type C1.1, placement of two LC-II screws provides comparable posterior pelvic ring stability compared to reconstructed plates. At loads below 1000 N, one LC-II screw fixation and two LC-II screws were comparable in restoring posterior pelvic ring stability.
