An Iliac Crest Avulsion with Meralgia Paresthetica in a Child: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic 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
Introduction: This case report details an unusual presentation of an iliac crest (IC) avulsion fracture in a 15-year-old male, complicated by meralgia paresthetica (MP), despite no involvement of the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS). IC avulsion fractures are rare, occurring in only 6.7% of pelvic avulsion fractures (PAF). They are rarely associated with MP, which typically correlates with ASIS injuries due to the proximity of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN). Case Report: This case suggests a potential anatomical variation where the LFCN may traverse posteriorly to the IC, explaining the MP without ASIS involvement. The patient fully recovered with conservative treatment within 1 month, indicating that the MP symptoms likely resulted from localized inflammation rather than direct nerve injury. Conclusion: This case highlights the need for awareness of rare anatomical variations and their impact on clinical presentation, reinforcing the importance of a thorough physical examination. Prompt diagnosis is crucial, and while conservative management is effective for minimally displaced fractures, ongoing debates exist regarding surgical intervention criteria. Future research should focus on refining treatment guidelines for pediatric PAF and exploring anatomical variations to understand better and manage atypical symptoms.
