Iliac blood vessel injuries in traumatic pelvic fractures: a National Trauma Data Bank analysis.
Article in European journal of orthopaedic surgery & traumatology : orthopedie traumatologie, 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
backgroundPelvic fractures and iliac vessel injuries share an anatomical relationship because of the proximity of the vessels to the bony pelvis. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of concomitant pelvic fractures on clinical outcomes in patients with iliac vessel injuries.
methodsWe performed a retrospective cohort study using secondary analysis of the 2017 National Trauma Data Bank Research Dataset. Adult patients (≥ 18 years old) with iliac vessel injuries were identified using ICD codes and stratified by the presence of pelvic fractures. Demographics, injury patterns, complications, and outcomes including mortality, length of hospital stay, and complications were compared. Multivariate logistic regression identified factors associated with mortality after adjusting for age, sex, race, injury severity score (ISS), abbreviated injury scale (AIS) scores, and comorbidities.
resultsAmong the 1,127 patients with iliac vessel injuries, 235 (20.9%) had concomitant pelvic fractures. Patients with pelvic fractures had similar demographics, but more associated abdominal trauma (60.0% vs. 48.4%, p = 0.002) and lumbar spine fractures (24.7% vs. 18.0%, p = 0.022). Although overall mortality rates were similar (17.9% vs. 20.6%, p = 0.348), these groups demonstrated distinct injury patterns that warrant different clinical considerations. ICU length of stay (median 5 days in both groups, p = 0.193) and overall complications (38.3% vs. 36.9%, p = 0.690) were comparable between groups. In multivariate analysis, pelvic fractures were not independently associated with mortality (OR 0.820, 95% CI 0.499-1.350, p = 0.436) after adjusting for age, injury severity, and physiologic parameters.
conclusionsThe presence of pelvic fractures was not independently associated with mortality in adjusted analysis.
