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

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of percutaneous 3D-printed guides in the anterior superior iliac spine site with traditional fluoroscopy-assisted sacroiliac screw implantation for the treatment of pelvic fractures. Methods: In total, 40 patients with eligible pelvic fractures who were diagnosed and treated between December 2022 and May 2024 were enrolled and divided into two groups. The guide plate group used anterior superior iliac spine 3D-printed guide plate-assisted sacroiliac screws to fix the posterior pelvic ring fracture; the fluoroscopy group used fluoroscopic freehand placement of sacroiliac screws to fix the posterior pelvic ring fracture. The operative time, number of fluoroscopies, amount of intraoperative bleeding, and length of incision for each screw implantation in the two groups were recorded. Fracture reduction was evaluated according to Matta's criteria, screw position was assessed using modified Gras classification, and a statistical analysis was performed. Results: Among the 40 patients who were followed up for 6-12 months, 23 sacroiliac screws were implanted in 20 patients in the guide plate group and 25 sacroiliac screws were implanted in 20 patients in the fluoroscopy group. The operative times were 50-75 (60.00 ± 8.429) min and 50-90 (72.25 ± 10.939) min ( Conclusion: Anterior superior iliac spine 3D-printed guide plate-assisted sacroiliac screw fixation of pelvic fracture, when compared with traditional fluoroscopy-assisted sacroiliac screw fixation of pelvic fracture, has a shorter operation time, reduces the number of fluoroscopies, and improves the accuracy of implantation.
