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

Background/aim: The sacroiliac joint (SIJ) is a frequently overlooked source of lower back pain (LBP). Recently, it has gained recognition as a significant pain generator, prompting increased interest in surgeries targeting this area. Traditionally, open SIJ fusion was used to stabilize pelvic and sacral fractures, and then it was adapted for use in pain management until the development of minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Revolutionizing the field, MIS offers fast and effective pain relief with significantly less risk of postsurgical adverse events, thereby gaining increased attention among surgeons. This review aims to highlight the current advancements in the literature regarding MIS SIJ fusion. Conclusion: The current literature demonstrates the superiority of MIS over open surgery with satisfactory patient outcomes and significantly lower complication rates. With the advancement in navigation and the inclusion of robotic assistance, MIS SIJ fusion is expected to become more ergonomically feasible for surgeons and shorten the learning curve for new trainees worldwide.
