Comparison of sacroiliac joint degeneration between patients with sagittal imbalance and lumbar spinal stenosis.
Article 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, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to compare the degeneration of sacroiliac joints (SIJs) between adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients with sagittal imbalance and an age- and sex-matched lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) patients without sagittal imbalance. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe age- and sex-matched case-control study consists of two groups: the ASD group and the other group consisting of patients with LSS (LSS group). The study population consisted of 98 patients in each group. The spinopelvic parameters such as pelvic incidence (PI), sacral slope, pelvic tilt, lumbar lordosis, and sagittal vertical axis (SVA) were measured. To evaluate degeneration of SIJ, two protocols (Backlund's grade and Eno's classification) were used.
resultSIJ degeneration in the ASD group was more severe than that in the LSS group, as assessed by both Backlund's grade and Eno's classification (P < 0.001 for both). Age correlated significantly with PI in both the ASD and LSS groups (r = 0.285; P = 0.005, r = 0.218; P = 0.031, respectively). The total Backlund's grading score and the SVA were significantly correlated with PI in the ASD group (r = 0.344; P < 0.001, r = 0.276; P = 0.007, respectively), but not in the LSS group (r = 0.156; P = 0.126, r = 0.189; P = 0.067, respectively).
conclusionsASD patients with sagittal imbalance demonstrated more severe SIJ degeneration compared to the age- and sex-matched LSS group. PI was significantly correlated with both SIJ degeneration and SVA only in the ASD group.
