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

Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) dysfunction has been increasingly recognized as the underlying pathology responsible for a significant percentage of cases of chronic lower back pain and radiculopathy. Diagnosis of SIJ dysfunction involves multiple provocation tests followed by serial injections of anesthetic, with significant alleviation of pain indicating that the SIJ is the pain generator. One documented complication of SIJ injections is extravasation of injected material from the SIJ capsule, resulting in unintended symptoms. We report the case of a patient who reported experiencing an orgasm following each of her three diagnostic SIJ injections. We hypothesize that this unusual symptom was caused by extravasation of injected material ventrally to the nearby pudendal nerve, a nerve responsible for sensory innervation of the perineum and a mediator of sexual arousal and orgasm.
