Magnetic resonance imaging features of sacrotuberous ligament partial injury with normal hamstring tendons.
Article in Skeletal radiology, 2026. 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
The sacrotuberous ligament has an oblique course, from a broad fan-like origin in the posterior superior iliac spine, transverse tubercles of the sacrum and the upper part of the coccyx, descending laterally to attach to the medial surface of the ischial tuberosity. It provides stability to the pelvic girdle, including the sacroiliac joint, counterbalancing its rotation and limiting its movement. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can identify this ligament, depicting its origin, course and continuity with the conjoined biceps femoris and semitendinosus tendon. However, there is no previous report of injuries to the midportion of this ligament, with normal hamstring tendons. In this article, we report three cases of sports-related sacrotuberous ligament injury, with normal hamstring tendons and associated with gluteus maximus muscle strain. MRI demonstrated thickening and irregularities of the sacrotuberous ligament, as well as edema along its fibers and in the adjacent gluteus maximus muscle, with no bone edema and normal tendons. All patients improved with rest and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications.
