Imaging pitfalls in fragility fractures of the pelvis: a case series.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundFragility fractures of the pelvis are low-energy pelvic ring fractures commonly occurring in older adults. Early diagnosis of fragility fractures of the pelvis is important because of the possibility of fracture progression and deterioration. Herein, we report the imaging characteristics of fragility fractures of the pelvis in three patients that resulted in delayed diagnoses and discuss ways to improve the diagnostic accuracy. CASE PRESENTATION: We reviewed the images of three Japanese patients with delayed fragility fractures of the pelvis diagnoses (one male, two females, aged 74-89 years), whose diagnoses were confirmed by orthopedic trauma surgeons after the initial treatments were completed. Their images all showed fractures with minimal displacements, such as those with continuous deformities of the bone cortex, bulging of the bone cortex, and those visible only on multiplanar reconstruction images.
conclusionWe identified several key imaging features related to the delayed diagnosis of fragility fractures of the pelvis. Emergency physicians should be familiar with the characteristics and imaging features of fragility fractures of the pelvis to prevent delays in their diagnoses.
