All that glitters is not gold: sacroiliitis.
Article in Reumatologia, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objectivesThe aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of "rheumatic" and "non-rheumatic" changes of the sacro-iliac joints (SIJ). MATERIAL AND
methodsWe performed MRI in 210 patients with suspected inflammatory low back pain. We sorted and analysed the characteristics of sacroiliac bone lesions in "rheumatic" and "non-rheumatic" patients and assessed the diagnostic values of their extent and location. SIJ lesions were classified on the basis of their location into two categories: unilateral and bilateral. Their extent was then measured and assigned to one of two groups: <1 cm or ≥ 1 cm.
resultsIn 45 cases (21%), the MRI findings matched the clinical diagnosis of "rheumatic" sacroiliitis. Interestingly, in 99 cases (47%) the SIJ changes were classified as "non-rheumatic". L5-S1 degenerative changes, scoliosis and pelvic asymmetry were most frequently encountered as concomitant phenomena in our study.
conclusionsMRI of the sacroiliac joints in patients suspected of inflammatory low back pain demonstrated more often "non-rheumatic" changes.
