Incidence and impact of urogenital sequelae in women following pelvic-ring injuries: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2026. 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
purposePelvic-ring injuries in women often result in urinary dysfunction owing to the proximity of pelvic organs to the urinary tract, significantly affecting quality of life. However, detailed research on urinary sequelae remains limited. This study aimed to assess the incidence of urinary dysfunction in women after pelvic-ring injuries and to identify risk factors influencing urinary function.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study of women who underwent osteosynthesis for pelvic-ring injuries between January 2022 and June 2023 with ≥ 12 months of follow-up. Urinary dysfunction was evaluated using the Questionnaire for Urinary Incontinence Diagnosis and Female Urinary Symptom Score at one, three, six and 12 months postoperatively.
resultsFifty-eight patients (mean age, 43.2 years) were included, with motor-vehicle collisions being the most common cause for pelvic-ring injuries (74.1%). Most injuries (84.5%) were classified as Type B. Nearly half of the patients reported urinary symptoms one month post-surgery, which significantly improved over 12 months (P < 0.05). In the multivariate analysis, greater injury severity was independently associated with urinary dysfunction at six months (adjusted odds ratio: 1.05, 95% confidence interval 1.00-1.12, p = 0.049), while no other clinical or procedural factors, including age, arterial embolisation, or surgical approach, stayed significant. Functional recovery correlated with reduced symptoms over time.
conclusionUrinary dysfunction is a frequent but under-recognised complication after pelvic-ring injuries. Although most patients experience gradual improvement over time, greater injury severity is independently associated with early urinary symptoms. Continuous monitoring and timely rehabilitation may help optimise long-term functional recovery.
