1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: Bilateral sacroiliac joint (SIJ) disruption is an uncommon, unstable pelvic injury with high morbidity. Percutaneous SI screw fixation is a well-established treatment but typically requires separate guidewire passes, increasing operative time and radiation exposure. Case and Technique: We report a 22-year-old male with bilateral pubic rami fractures and bilateral SIJ disruptions. After reduction and fixation of anterior ring, a single guidewire was passed from the left to the right SIJ, and bilateral screws were inserted over it under fluoroscopic guidance. Results: Bilateral fixation was successfully achieved with correct screw placement, effective compression, and intact L5 nerve function. This approach reduced operative time and fluoroscopic exposure. Conclusion: Single-guidewire bilateral SIJ fixation is a simple, effective technique that decreases operative time and radiation exposure while ensuring safe, stable fixation. Careful fluoroscopic monitoring is essential, and the method is feasible in both obese and nonobese patients.
