Anal Sphincter Disruption in Open Pelvic Fractures: A Case Report Highlighting the Importance of Early Intervention.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Anal sphincter injuries, often accompanying perineal trauma, are closely associated with pelvic fractures (PFs). If unrecognized and untreated, these injuries can lead to sepsis and fecal incontinence. We present the case of a 25-year-old male patient who sustained severe trauma, resulting in unstable open PFs and associated perineal injuries, including anal sphincter damage. The patient was managed with an early diverting colostomy to prevent pelvic sepsis, followed by staged reconstruction of the pelvic ring. This case underscores the importance of a systematic and thorough approach to managing sphincter injuries in post-trauma care. Clinicians must maintain a high index of suspicion for perineal injuries in patients with open PFs, as early intervention can significantly improve functional outcomes.
