Accuracy of a table-bound reduction and drill guide system for minimally invasive sacroiliac screw placement in cats.
Article in Veterinary surgery : VS, 2026. 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
objectiveTo describe the equipment and accuracy of a table-bound reduction system and three-dimensional (3D) printed drill guide for fluoroscopically guided, minimally invasive sacroiliac luxation (SIL) reduction and stabilization by means of a single iliosacral lag screw in cats. STUDY
designRetrospective case series. ANIMALS: A total of 17 cats (20 screws).
methodsMedical records of a single institution were retrospectively reviewed for cats that underwent SIL reduction and stabilization as described in the above objective. Postoperative images were assessed for screw positioning, percentage of sacroiliac reduction, sacral width purchase, and craniocaudal and dorsoventral screw angulation.
resultsSacral width purchase was 82.52% ± 10.67. Percentage of sacroiliac (SI) joint reduction was 94.25% ± 8.14. Craniocaudal screw angle was -1.22° ± 3.96. Dorsoventral screw angles was 0.7° ± 3.90. All screws were classed as being positioned within the sacral body (in).
conclusionStabilization of SIL in cats by mean of a single iliosacral screw placed minimally invasively using intraoperative fluoroscopy and a table bound reduction system and 3D printed drill guide system, led to screws that were repeatably placed within the sacral body based on either computed tomography (CT) scan assessment or subjective radiographic assessment. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The described technique and equipment allow placement of iliosacral screws in cats with repeatable accuracy.
