1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveThe sacroiliac joint is an important source of low back pain and may be influenced by pathologies in adjoining structures such as the hip or the spine. This study aimed to investigate the influence of hip osteoarthritis on sacroiliac joint degeneration by examining the sacroiliac joints of hip osteoarthritis patients, focusing on the localization and quantity of vacuum phenomena. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe preoperative computed tomography (CT) of 31 female hip replacement candidates (mean age 69.1) and pelvic CT of 34 age-matched controls (mean age 67.9) were used to reconstruct the sacroiliac joints three-dimensionally. The degeneration score of the sacroiliac joints on axial view, as well as the location and volume of vacuum phenomena in the three-dimensionally reconstructed sacroiliac joints, were analyzed.

resultsThe total sacroiliac joint degeneration scores were similar in hip osteoarthritis patients and controls but the breakdown of the score revealed that joint space narrowing and vacuum phenomena in the sacroiliac joint increase in hip osteoarthritis, while osteophytes decrease. Three-dimensional reconstruction revealed that the volume of vacuum phenomena in the sacroiliac joint was significantly larger in the hip osteoarthritis group and the vacuum areas were localized in the antero-superior region of the sacroiliac joint.

conclusionOur results suggest that hip osteoarthritis and sacroiliac joint degeneration are related, and that with further investigation, the sacroiliac joint may become a new treatment target in hip osteoarthritis.
