The posterior superior iliac rim screw as an adjunct to pelvic fixation in complex spinopelvic stabilization.
Article in North American Spine Society journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundFixation to the ilium is a commonly used alternative or supplement to sacral fixation in complex spinopelvic reconstructions. This can be achieved with traditional posterior superior iliac spine or S2 alar-iliac screws. Posterior superior iliac rim screws may be considered to achieve or enhance pelvic fixation. The objective of this case series was to describe the use of and indications for posterior superior iliac rim screws.
methodsA retrospective review was performed of the medical records and radiographic data for three patients who underwent complex lumbosacral reconstructions involving the use of posterior superior iliac rim screws to enhance pelvic fixation. The cases included a 35-year-old with bilateral sacral fractures, a 43-year-old with extensive metastatic sarcoma to the sacrum, and a 48-year-old with multiple lumbar and pelvic fractures. An overview of the key surgical techniques is provided.
resultsAll three patients tolerated the procedure, without any unexpected post-operative complications or deficits. Radiographs at last follow-up showed stable fixation and no hardware issues.
conclusionsThe use of posterior superior iliac rim screws as an adjunct method of fixation in complex spinopelvic reconstructions is a feasible option that can be considered in the fixation armamentarium.
