The crest-pillar-column method for percutaneous fixation of the posterior column using a curved intramedullary device: surgical technique.

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
Treatment of posterior column fractures can be treated with open reduction internal fixation via plate osteosynthesis or with screw fixation. Due to common fracture planes and fixation trajectories, traditional anterograde posterior column screw fixation requires an open approach to access the starting point on the inner table. Retrograde posterior column implantation requires a start point in areas that are difficult to drape and access with familiar patient positioning and confident sterility. The advent of curved intramedullary implants allows implantation in nonlinear osseous fixation pathways. This technical paper describes a novel minimally invasive approach to placing a curved intramedullary implant within the posterior column from the readily identifiable iliac tubercle via the gluteal pillar ("Crest-Pillar-Column" technique).
