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
purposeTo investigate the added value of directly observing sacroiliac (SI) diastasis with a modified examination under anaesthesia (EUA) protocol, including obturator inlet SI joint projections, in patients with anterior-posterior compression (APC) pelvic ring injuries.
methodsThis prospective cohort study, conducted in a level-1 trauma centre in 2017–2024, included patients > 18 years old with an APC injury, who underwent the modified EUA protocol. The modified protocol includes anterior-posterior projections of the anterior pelvis (as in the original EUA protocol), with additional obturator inlet projections of the SI joints. The primary outcomes were reclassification and detection of occult SI joint diastasis, either anterior or complete, following the modified EUA protocol.
resultsThirty-five patients, with a mean age of 53, were included, 80% sustaining high-energy trauma. Following modified EUA, 23 (65.7%) of injuries were reclassified compared to classifications from CTs: 9 of 12 (75%) APC1s to APC2, 1 of 12 (8.3%) APC1s to APC3, and 13 of 23 (56.5%) APC2s to APC3. In 16 cases (45.7%), examining the SI joint during EUA enabled localisation of SI diastasis. Eleven patients of 13 (84.6%) with symphyseal diastasis less than the standard cut-off value of 2.5 cm had occult SI diastasis visible on the obturator inlet images. Four of 14 (28.5%) patients with rotational instability less than the standard cut-off value of 1.0 cm had complete SI diastasis visible on obturator inlet images.
conclusionsA modified EUA protocol, including obturator inlet projections of the SI joints, in patients with APC pelvic ring injuries has been proposed. This protocol allows for direct detection of SI joint diastasis that was not visible on the CT scans, allows for localization of SI joint diastasis, and reveals SI joint diastasis that would remain undetected if only the anterior ring was visualized.
