Radiographic parameters and feasibility analysis of dual sacral-2 alar-iliac screw fixation using three-dimensional digital technology.
Article in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 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
objectiveThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and the trajectories of dual sacral-2 alar-iliac (S2AI) screw fixation with three-dimensional digital technology simulation analysis.
methodsThe pelvic computed tomography scan data of 60 (30 men and 30 women, age: 25-86 years) individuals were selected and reconstructed. The trajectories of dual S2AI screws were plotted using three-dimensional reconstruction software. A cylinder with a radius of 5 mm was selected to simulate screw placement. If screw placement based on the cylinder with 5 mm radius failed, selected a cylinder with a radius of 4.5 mm or 4 mm. Dual S2AI trajectories were simulated, the maximum length and width of the trajectories were ensured, and their parameters were precisely measured. All parameters were measured in the three-dimensional image, including distance parameters, radius and angles.
resultsThe placement of dual S2AI screws on the same side could be achieved in all individuals. No significant differences were found between the male and female regarding the head inclination angle, abduction angle, and total length or thread length of screws in the same position (P > 0.05). LH (the shortest distance from the greater sciatic notch to the cross-section of the screw trajectory) were17.52 ± 3.96 mm and 14.18 ± 2.92 mm in L1, 28.19 ± 2.58 mm and 25.54 ± 4.15 mm in L2, 16.09 ± 4.08 mm and 14.71 ± 3.94 mm in R1, 26.90 ± 3.76 mm and 24.59 ± 2.85 mm in R2 in male and female models, respectively. The shortest distance from the greater sciatic notch to the cross-section of the screw trajectory differed significantly between the sexes (P < 0.05).
conclusionUsing a radius of 4 mm (minimum diameter of S2AI screw) as a standard, it is feasible to place two S2AI screws on the same side for the Chinese adult. Screw placement can be achieved by trisecting the lateral process of S1-S2, with one screw inserted in the bottom third and the other in the upper third. Furthermore, preoperative three-dimensional digital technology simulation analysis can effectively simulate the dual S2AI screws trajectories on the same side, and they can provide accurate data for clinical applications.
