Paraneoplastic Sacroiliitis: A Masquerade of Inflammatory Arthritis in Leukemia.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Leukemic arthritis is a rare but clinically significant presentation of leukemia, often resembling inflammatory or autoimmune arthritis. Axial joint involvement, particularly sacroiliitis, is an uncommon manifestation and can mislead clinicians, delaying the diagnosis of the underlying hematologic malignancy. We present the case of a 34-year-old woman with persistent low back pain, initially diagnosed as sacroiliitis and treated with conventional therapies. Despite partial symptom relief with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and corticosteroids, her condition worsened, leading to further evaluation. Subsequent laboratory tests revealed leukocytosis and anemia, and a peripheral blood smear confirmed leukemic infiltration. The final diagnosis of paraneoplastic sacroiliitis secondary to acute leukemia was established. This case highlights the importance of considering malignancy in patients presenting with refractory arthritis, particularly when symptoms are atypical or fail to respond to standard treatments. Early recognition and prompt initiation of chemotherapy can significantly improve clinical outcomes..
