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
introductionOpen reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) is a standard treatment for pelvic and acetabular fractures, but it is associated with great trauma and a high incidence of complications. The purpose of this retrospective study was to investigate whether laparoscopy can be used as an alternative to standard ORIF in the treatment of pelvic and acetabular fractures. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study included 15 patients with pelvic and acetabular fractures who underwent laparoscopy. The surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, and surgery-related complications of all the patients were recorded. The Matta score was used to evaluate the quality of fracture reduction after the surgery, and the modified Merle d'Aubigne & Postel score was used to evaluate hip joint function at the last follow-up.
resultsThe mean patient age was 50.8 ± 16.4 years, and the average surgical time was 224.4 ± 74.2 min. The intraoperative bleeding volume was 100.0 (50.0, 300.0) mL. The quality of fracture reduction was excellent in 10 patients and satisfactory in five patients. Hip function was excellent in seven patients and good in eight patients, with a score of 17.0 (17.0, 18.0). Intraoperative vascular injury occurred in two patients. Peritoneal rupture occurred in one patient. Partial loosening of the internal fixation was found in one patient at the last follow-up.
conclusionLaparoscopic treatment of pelvic and acetabular fractures can achieve good clinical results, although there were 20% vascular and peritoneal complications and can be used as an alternative to ORIF in some cases.
