Global, regional, and national burden of fracture of pelvis, 1990-2021: analysis of data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Background: Fractures of the pelvis are significant orthopedic injuries associated with high morbidity, mortality, and substantial economic burden worldwide. Methods: This study aimed to comprehensively analyze the disease burden of pelvic fractures globally from 1990 to 2021 using data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2021. First, we conducted a descriptive analysis in 2021, stratifying data by subtypes. Secondly, we used the Linear regression models to analyze temporal trends. Finally, we used two models to predict the future burden. Furthermore, we examined the correlation between estimated annual percentage change (EAPCs) and age-standardized rates (ASRs), as well as Human Development Index (HDI) scores in 2021. Results: In 2021, pelvic fractures caused 4,524,448 incident cases (95% UI 3,283,345-6,583,735), 13,100,257 prevalent cases (12,103,233-14,174,613), and 2,241,606 years lived with disability (YLDs; 1,559,349-2,965,288). The age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) was 56.00 per 100,000 (40.96-81.22), age-standardized prevalence rate (ASPR) 155.97 (143.85-168.87), and YLDs rate 26.74 (18.59-35.36). Rates were higher in males, with ASIR, ASPR, and YLDs 1.14, 1.35, and 1.37 times those in females. Age-specific ASRs rose with age. Australasia had the highest ASIR (148.39; 101.02-219.91), and the Commonwealth Low-Income region the lowest (21.97; 16.86-29.23). Western Africa recorded the lowest ASPR (77.37; 70.44-86.42) and YLD rate (13.34; 9.39-18.00). Nationally, ASIR was highest in Andorra (176.62; 111.81-281.70) and lowest in Kiribati (17.96; 13.88-23.10). Projections suggest rising burden through 2046. EAPCs were inversely associated with ASRs and HDI, except for a weak, non-significant positive correlation with ASIR (ρ = 0.08; Conclusion: Our findings reveal a substantial and increasing global burden of pelvic fractures, particularly in regions with limited access to high-quality trauma care. The increasing proportion of years lived with disability (YLDs) due to long-term disability underscores the importance of comprehensive management strategies, including prevention, timely treatment, and effective rehabilitation.
