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

The sacroiliac joint (SIJ) is an amphiarthrosis composed of a posterior syndesmosis and an anterior cartilaginous portion, with limited yet present mobility. Its main function is to transmit the load from the axial skeleton to the lower limbs and vice-versa; it is susceptible to early mechanical and degenerative changes which are much more common than inflammatory sacroiliitis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has increasingly been used to evaluate these changes, and while subchondral bone marrow edema (BME) is a common finding related to both, care must be taken when applying the ASAS research MRI definition for sacroiliitis without considering lesion BME topography, size and depth, concomitant structural damage and, of course, the clinical picture. In this review, we will discuss the anatomy and biomechanics of the SIJ, the noninflammatory causes of SIJ subchondral BME, and how these concepts combined can be used to increase our diagnostic confidence.
