Magnetic resonance imaging guided corticosteroid injection of sacroiliac joints in patients with spondylarthropathy. Are multiple injections more beneficial?
Trial report in Rheumatology international, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
Efficacy of a second magnetic resonance (MR) imaging guided corticosteroid injection of inflamed sacroiliac joints (SIJ) in patients with spondylarthropathy. Thirty-one patients received 50 injections in an outpatient basis. Fifteen of 31 patients who relapsed or were non-responders received a second injection. All had MR guided injection of 40 mg triamcinolone acetonide into SIJ using an open 0.2 Tesla unit. Twenty of 31 patients after the first injection, and 9 of 15 patients after the second injection reported subjective improvement, which lasted for a mean of 8.7+/-10.9 and 16.1+/-15.8 months for each group. Subchondral bone marrow edema resolved in 15 of 20 patients who reported subjective improvement, after the first injection. No complications occurred. MR guided steroid injection of SIJ is effective and safe. Since there is no exposure to radiation it could be performed many times. Repeated injections seem to be beneficial for primary non-responders and patients who relapsed.
