Two-Year Outcomes of Lateral Transiliac Sacroiliac Joint Fusion with Porous Threaded Implant.
Article in Journal of pain research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Purpose: Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain is a widely recognized source of chronic low back pain. The safety and effectiveness of SIJ fusion is supported by multiple systematic reviews. Most evidence involves lateral transiliac placement of metallic implants. We report two-year outcomes from lateral SIJ fusion using a 3D-printed porous threaded fusion implant (PTI, iFuse TORQ, SI-BONE). Patients and methods: A retrospective chart review was undertaken at two centers. Medical records of patients who underwent lateral SIJ fusion between January 2022 and May 2023 with at least two years of follow up were reviewed. Data collection included demographics, complications, and postoperative outcomes. The study protocol was reviewed by WCG IRB and was granted exemption authorization. Results: 49 patients underwent surgery and had two-year outcomes. Mean age was 63.8 and 71% were women. There were no device- or procedure-related adverse events. Pain scores averaged 8.7 at baseline and 2.8 at follow-up (change of 5.8 points, p<0.0001). Pain score improvements were similar across surgeons and were independent of a history of prior lumbar fusion. Conclusion: In our case series, lateral SIJ fusion with a titanium 3D printed threaded implant was safe and effective at 2 years of follow-up. No implant breakage or migration was observed. Outcomes were consistent with existing studies.
