Complications and outcomes after definitive surgery for traumatic high-energy pelvic fractures.

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
backgroundPostoperative complications and prolonged recovery are often recorded in traumatic high-energy pelvic fractures. This study aimed to assess the rate of postoperative complications and identify factors associated with their occurrence following surgical treatment.
methodsThis retrospective study included 162 patients with traumatic high-energy pelvic fractures who underwent surgery at Oulu University Hospital between 2010 and 2021. Patient demographics, laboratory findings, operative details, and postoperative outcomes were reviewed.
resultsA total of 68 postoperative complications were recorded, comprising 34 surgical and 34 medical events. Patients who developed complications were older, had higher C-reactive protein (CRP) levels on admission, and longer operative times compared with those without complications. No significant difference in the time from hospital admission to surgery was observed between the groups.
conclusionPostoperative complications following traumatic pelvic fractures were common. Older age was independently associated with an increased risk of postoperative complications.
