The percutaneous stabilisation of the sacroiliac joint with hollow modular anchorage screws: a prospective outcome study.
Trial report in European spine journal : official publication of the European Spine Society, the European Spinal Deformity Society, and the European Section of the Cervical Spine Research Society, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 41 papers, 2 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
purposeThe use of percutaneous iliosacral screw fixation as a treatment of sacroiliac joint pain has been reported to be successful. This study was a prospective single surgeon series to evaluate the short-term outcomes of patients who underwent percutaneous sacroiliac joint stabilisation.
methodsBetween July 2004 and February 2011, 73 patients underwent percutaneous sacroiliac joint fusion in our unit. All patients completed a short form (SF)-36 questionnaire, visual analogue pain score and Majeed scoring questionnaire prior to treatment and at last follow-up.
results55 patients (9 male and 46 female) completed follow-up. The average follow-up period was for 36.18 months (range 12-84). The mean preoperative SF-36 scores were 26.59 for physical health and 40.38 for mental health. The mean postoperative SF-36 scores were 42.93 for physical health and 52.77 for mental health. The mean visual analogue pain scores were 8.1 preoperative and 4.5 postoperative. The mean pelvic specific scoring were 36.9 preoperative and 64.78 postoperative. We noted that patients who had previous instrumented spinal surgery did significantly worse than those who had not. We had two nerve root-related complications.
conclusionWe conclude that in selected patient group who respond positively to CT-guided injection, a percutaneous SI joint stabilisation is beneficial in effecting pain relief and functional improvement.
