Retrospective analysis of the use of orthopedic reduction robots in treating low-energy osteoporotic unstable pelvic fractures in the elderly.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07624942 (Comparing the Efficacy and Safety of Robot Assisted Treatment Versus Conventional Surgery in Patients With Tile B and C Pelvic Fractures), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
objectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy of the Rossum Robot in assisting full-process closed reduction and internal fixation for low-energy osteoporotic unstable pelvic fractures in elderly patients.
methodsWe performed a retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 37 patients with osteoporotic unstable pelvic fractures due to low-energy trauma, who underwent robotic reduction and internal fixation surgery between October 2023 and May 2024. Eighteen patients underwent Rossum Robot-assisted full-process closed reduction and internal fixation (RoRobot group), while 19 patients underwent percutaneous screw fixation with TiRobot assistance (TiRobot group). We compared the excellent and good rate of fracture reduction (EGR), the accuracy of screw placement (ASP), and the degree of fracture healing between the two groups. Efficacy indicators included changes in the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain and the Majeed score at preoperative, 1-week, 1-month, 3-month, and 6-month follow-ups. Statistical correlations were assessed using independent t-tests, chi-square tests, and non-parametric tests.
resultThe EGR in the RoRobot assistance group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P = 0.019). No significant difference was observed in fracture healing between the two groups post-surgery (P = 0.157). No significant difference was found in ASP between the RoRobot and TiRobot assistant groups (P = 0.619). No significant difference was observed in the preoperative VAS and Majeed scores between the two groups (P = 0.611, P = 0.939). Both groups showed significant improvement in VAS scores post-surgery. One week and one month after surgery, the VAS score in the RoRobot assisted group was significantly lower than in the TiRobot assisted group (P = 0.000, P = 0.001). Majeed scores significantly increased in both groups post-surgery, and during multiple follow-ups within six months, the RoRobot assisted group showed significantly higher Majeed scores than the TiRobot assisted group.
conclusionIn elderly patients with osteoporotic unstable pelvic fractures resulting from low-energy injuries, Rossum robot-assisted pelvic fracture closed reduction and internal fixation surgery leads to less tissue damage, more effective fracture reduction, better postoperative pain relief, and faster recovery compared to TiRobot-assisted internal fixation surgery.
