Augmented stabilization of a rare geriatric "open book"-injury, using a cement augmented internal fixator - a case report.
Article in Trauma case reports, 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
Background: Pelvic ring injuries in elderly patients, particularly in the context of low-energy trauma, typically involve posterior ring structures due to underlying osteopenia or osteoporosis. However, symphyseal disruptions are extremely rare in this population. Pelvic ring injuries in elderly patients are increasingly common due to demographic changes, often resulting from low-energy falls. We present a unique case of a 77-year-old morbidly obese female with a Type B1.1 pelvic ring injury (APC-2, according to Young & Burgess classification), characterized by an open book lesion with no posterior fracture. Given the patient's body habitus and reduced bone quality, a minimally invasive internal fixator spine system was implanted and augmented with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) cement to enhance fixation strength and allow early mobilization. Case presentation: A 77-year-old female (BMI: 36 kg/m Conclusion: This case illustrates the feasibility and benefit of cement-augmented internal fixator of the pubic symphysis with a rare case of an "open-book" injury in elderly, obese female patient. Cement augmentation may offer additional pull-out strength in patients with reduced bone quality, facilitating early mobilization and avoiding complications related to implant loosening.
