Associated Urogenital Injuries Following Pelvic Trauma in Pediatrics: A 15-Year Single-Center Retrospective Study.
Article in Cureus, 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
objectivesThe association between pelvic trauma and urogenital injuries in adults is well-established, whereas pediatric literature is forthcoming. This study aimed to determine the association between pelvic trauma and urogenital injuries in pediatric patients, including incidence, injury patterns, diagnosis, and treatment. We hypothesized that pediatric patients would demonstrate decreased rates of urogenital injuries associated with pelvic trauma compared to adults.
methodsThis was a single-center, retrospective chart review. Patients aged 0-16 years admitted for pelvic fracture, pelvic dislocation, proximal femur fracture, and injury of urinary and pelvic organs over a 15-year period were included. Primary variables included fracture diagnosis, urogenital injury, treatment modalities, and mechanism of injury. Secondary outcomes included patient demographics, length of hospital and intensive care unit (ICU) stay, imaging, and Foley placement. ANOVA and chi-square analysis were used for statistical analysis.
resultsA total of 371 patient charts were reviewed. Following additional exclusion criteria, 303 patients were compared for analysis. Patients were grouped based on primary fracture diagnosis: pelvic ring fracture (49.2%, n = 149), femur fracture (42.2%, n = 128), and acetabular fracture/hip dislocation (8.6%, n = 26). There was no associated urogenital injury in 81.9% (n = 122) of the pelvic ring fracture group, 90.6% (n = 116) of the femur fracture group, and 100% (n = 26) of the acetabular fracture/hip dislocation group (p = 0.0690).
conclusionsPelvic trauma with associated urogenital injury is less likely in pediatric patients than in adults. When present, it is more commonly associated with the male gender and increased pelvic fracture severity. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III - retrospective chart review.
