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

backgroundThe surgical treatment of pelvic fractures is challenging, particularly after lumbosacral plexus injuries. Such impairments affect a patient's physiological function and can cause significant mental health problems. In recent years, the new transrectus lateral approach has favorably treated pelvic fractures and possibly preserved patients' physiological and psychological conditions. Therefore, investigating its clinical efficacy for treating pelvic fractures plus lumbosacral plexus injuries is of great clinical significance.

aimTo investigate the clinical effect of the transrectus lateral approach on pelvic fractures complicated by lumbosacral plexus injuries as well as anxiety and depression.

methodsData of 136 patients with pelvic fractures complicated by lumbosacral plexus injuries treated by the transrectus lateral approach (January 2011 to May 2024) were retrospectively analyzed. The patients' general data were collected via questionnaire. The Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) were used to assess anxiety and depression, respectively. We adopted a numerical rating scale (NRS) to evaluate pain degree, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to assess sleep quality, and Medical Research Council (MRC) Scale for Muscle Strength to evaluate treatment efficacy and complications.

resultsThe 136 included patients (92 male, 44 female) were a mean 48.02 ± 15.72 years old. The mean SAS score was 66.36 ± 5.15 preoperatively

conclusionThe transrectus lateral approach to treating pelvic fractures plus lumbosacral plexus injuries can safely alleviate anxiety and depression, relieve pain, improve sleep quality, reduce intraoperative blood loss, and improve postoperative recovery.
