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

Fragility fractures of the pelvis (FFP) in the elderly have been on the rise. Conventional treatment options have often been conservative. However, in recent years, osteosynthesis has been recommended in order to achieve early ambulation. Surgical treatment was performed for combined FFP, femoral neck and acetabular fractures in elderly patients who did not have a clear history of trauma. In this case report, we describe two cases of combined fractures of FFP. Patient 1 was diagnosed with a combined fracture of the femoral neck and acetabulum, classified according to Rommens classification as III-c, and following osteosynthesis for a posterior column fracture, underwent allogenic bone grafting and total hip arthroplasty (THA) with a Burch-Schneider cage. Patient 2 was diagnosed with a combined fracture of the femoral neck and acetabulum, classified according to Rommens classification as II-b. The patient underwent THA with an allogenic bone graft and a Kerboull-type plate. Surgical treatment with THA using an acetabular reinforcement device has been successful in rare cases with combined fractures of the FFP, femoral neck and acetabulum.
