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
purposeModerate-to-severe pelvic ring fractures are associated with high morbidity and mortality despite advances in resuscitation, development in trauma systems and multispecialty haemorrhage control. This study aimed to describe the management strategies and clinical outcomes of moderate-to-severe pelvic ring fractures over a 10-year period at an Australian Level I Trauma Centre.
methodsA retrospective observational cohort study was performed of patients aged ≥ 16 years with moderate-to-severe pelvic ring fractures (Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) ≥ 3) treated between January 2015 and December 2024. Data were obtained from the institutional prospectively collected trauma registry.
resultsA total of 313 patients met the inclusion criteria. The mean age was 47.0 years and 69.3% were male. Motor vehicle (35.1%) and motorcycle collisions (24.9%) accounted for 60.1% of injuries. Median ISS was 26 (IQR 19-34), with 70.6% sustaining pelvic AIS 4-5 injuries. 20.1% of patients underwent at least one haemorrhage-control intervention, including angioembolisation (14.4%), preperitoneal pelvic packing (5.8%) and external fixation (5.8%). Angioembolisation utilisation increased from 6.7% in 2015 to 40.0% in 2024. In-hospital mortality was 7.7%, with traumatic brain injury accounting for 62.5% of deaths and haemorrhagic shock for only one death.
conclusionModerate-to-severe pelvic ring fractures remained characterised by high-energy mechanisms and severe multisystem injury over the study period, while management evolved with increasing utilisation of angioembolisation. In-hospital mortality was numerically lower compared with historical cohorts, with most deaths attributable to associated traumatic brain injury rather than pelvic haemorrhage.
