Isolated fracture of the anterior wall of the acetabulum: A rare fracture, even rarer in the skeletally immature patient. Report of two cases and literature review.
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: Isolated anterior wall acetabular fracture (AWAF) is a rare injury in adults and even rarer among the skeletally immature population. Case presentation: We present the cases of two skeletally immature patients (a 13-year-old boy [case #1] and a 10-year-old boy [case #2]) with displaced isolated AWAF, surgically treated using the Smith-Petersen approach with osteotomy of the anterior superior iliac spine. Results: The patients were closely followed up for an average of 18 months, presenting normal function and a concentric hip. Despite the good functional outcome, the latest hip radiographs of case #2 showed initial signs of a bony bar in the triradiate cartilage and the presence of avascular necrosis of the femoral head. Conclusion: We emphasize the importance of long-term follow-up for skeletally immature patients with this type of injury, given the high potential for complications.
