Differential Diagnosis of Posterior Buttock Pain: A Conceptual Review Based on Topographic Localization of Pain, Is It Really the Sacroiliac Joint?
Article in International journal of spine surgery, 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
Diagnosis and management of musculoskeletal pain in the lower back, buttock, and hip can be complex due to the multilayered muscular anatomy in this region. Each structure or functional group (ie, hip abductors) may present as a local pain syndrome. Pain may arise from osseous, intra-articular, ligamentous, musculotendinous, myofascial, neural, or vascular sources. Diagnosis is challenging due to overlapping innervation and referred pain patterns, particularly sclerotomal referral from osseous and ligamentous structures. Effective treatment requires accurate diagnosis. A regionalized approach categorizing pain syndromes into 6 anatomic zones-above the iliac crest, the iliac crest, the lateral hip, the gluteal region, sciatic nerve related, and the ischial tuberosity-may improve diagnostic clarity and guide treatment. A regionalized, 6-zone framework for posterior buttock pain may enhance diagnostic accuracy and guide individualized management.
