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
backgroundThis study aims to present the preliminary clinical and functional outcomes of pubic symphysis diastasis (PSD) cases treated with plate-screw fixation using the laparoscopic total extraperitoneal approach in orthopedic surgery (O-TEP).
methodsThis retrospective study included 13 patients who underwent O-TEP symphysis pubis plating for PSD between March 2022 and May 2025, all with a minimum follow-up period of 12 months. Data collected encompassed demographic characteristics, injury mechanisms, additional pathologies, and injury classifications (Young-Burgess and AO/OTA). Surgical details, including duration, blood loss, hospital stay, and postoperative follow-up, were recorded. Clinical and functional outcomes were assessed using postop-erative VAS scores, as well as Iowa Pelvic and Majeed Pelvic scores at the final follow-up. The study also evaluated implant failure, the need for revision surgery, and surgery-related complications.
resultsThe mean age of the patients was 40±14.8 years (21-61). The gender distribution was 77% male and 23% female. The mean operating time was 113±36 minutes (65-175). The average blood loss was 127±67.3 ml (70-300), and the mean postoperative hospitalization period was 2.7±0.8 days (2-4). No postoperative complications, such as infection, implant failure, loss of reduction, or need for revision, were observed. Postoperative VAS scores on days 1 and 2 were 3.7±1.5 (1-6) and 2.2±1.03 (1-4), respectively. The mean follow-up period was 21.5±6.9 months (12-32), with a mean Iowa Pelvic Score of 87.1±4.7 (80-95) and a mean Majeed score of 84.9±4.01 (78-91).
conclusionLaparoscopic total extraperitoneal approach in orthopedic surgery (O-TEP) is an innovative minimally invasive technique that expands the available options for surgeons in the treatment of selected anterior pelvic ring injuries, providing clinically and radiologically satisfactory outcomes.
