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

Patients with unstable hemodynamics and unstable pelvic ring injuries are still demanding patients regarding initial treatment and survival. Several concepts were reported during the last 30 years. Mechanical stabilization of the pelvis together with hemorrhage control offer the best treatment option in these patients. While pelvic ring stabilization using pelvic binders, external fixators and the pelvic C-clamp are the basis for mechanical stability of the pelvic ring, the optimal modality for pelvic bleeding control is still under discussion. Beside angioembolization (AE) and Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA), pelvic packing PP (predominantly extraperitoneal) with direct access to the pelvic bleeding sources, are potential options. The present overview represents the present status, results and the value of pelvic packing in treating these patients. Interpretation of these results must consider the difference between the initial European concept of pelvic ring stabilization followed by PP in contrast to the North American concept with a reduced rate of pelvic ring stabilizations.
