Osteitis condensans ilii: current knowledge and diagnostic approach.
Review in Rheumatology international, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Osteitis condensans ilii is a noninflammatory condition of an uncertain etiology, characterized by sclerotic bone lesions located mainly in the iliac region of the sacroiliac joints. In many patients, osteitis condensans ilii remains an incidental imaging finding; however, it has been associated with lower back pain and may mimic inflammatory rheumatic conditions such as axial spondyloarthritis. The diagnosis is based on the presence of the characteristic sclerotic lesions on radiographs and the exclusion of other conditions that are associated with back pain. Management is usually conservative with the use of physical therapy and analgesics, and it is associated with a favorable prognosis. Herein, we conducted a narrative literature review using the terms osteitis condensans ilii, and we identified case reports, case series, reviews, and original studies associated with the condition. The aim of this article is to raise the awareness of this underrecognized clinicoradiological condition and to enable the health-care providers to recognize clinical and radiological features that should raise suspicion of the osteitis condensans illi, and to describe the treatment options.
