An Unusual Cause of Buttock Pain in a Collegiate Football Player: A Septic Sacroiliac Joint.

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
Early recognition of sacroiliac (SI) joint infection can be challenging in young, otherwise healthy individuals presenting with nonspecific buttock or thigh pain. We present the case of a 21-year-old collegiate football player who developed progressive buttock and thigh pain after a minor fall during practice. Initial evaluation suggested sciatic nerve compression, and early MRI revealed only subtle soft tissue edema. Despite conservative treatment and a nerve block, his pain acutely worsened, and he developed fever and chills. Repeat MRI five days later demonstrated a fluid collection consistent with septic sacroiliitis and abscess formation, with additional findings of iliopsoas and gluteal myositis. Blood cultures and CT-guided aspiration confirmed methicillin-sensitive
