An assessment of pelvic binder placement on patients referred to the Irish national centre for pelvic and acetabular fractures.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 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
backgroundPelvic binders are used to reduce the haemorrhage associated with pelvic ring injuries. Application at the level of the greater trochanters is required. We assessed the frequency of their use in patients with pelvic ring injuries and their positioning in patients being referred to the Irish national centre for treatment of pelvic & acetabular fractures. AIMS/
methodsA retrospective review of our trauma database was performed to consecutively select 91 patients for study from May 2024 to May 2025 Patients with a pelvic ring injury defined by the Young and Burgess classification were included. Computed tomography was used to identify and measure pelvic binder placement.
results22/91 (24%) had a binder placed. Of the total, 11/91 (12%) patients had satisfactory placement and 11/91 (12%) had unsatisfactory placement; 69/91 (76%) patients with a pelvic ring injury had no binder applied.
conclusionThis is the first study assessing pelvic binder placement in patients referred to the national pelvic and acetabular injury unit. Unsatisfactory positioning of the pelvic binder is a common problem and it was not used in a large proportion of patients with pelvic ring injuries. This demonstrates that there is a need for continuing education for teams dealing with major trauma.
