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

backgroundSacroiliac joint injury during vaginal delivery is an uncommon but important cause of acute postpartum pelvic pain. CASE PRESENTATION: The patient is a 29-year-old gravida-6 para-3 who had an uncomplicated vaginal birth at 39.0 weeks. Shortly after delivery, the patient developed severe right-sided sacral pain. Pelvic MRI revealed tearing of the anterior sacroiliac joint capsule. CT-guided corticosteroid injection initially alleviated symptoms, but the patient developed worsening pain and recurrent fevers. Septic sacroiliitis was confirmed based on joint aspirate cultures positive for S. pneumoniae and rare Haemophilus, and the patient subsequently received intravenous antibiotics. Her recovery was protracted, requiring pain management, physical therapy, and psychiatric support.

conclusionsThis case highlights the challenges in diagnosing postpartum sacroiliac joint injury and emphasizes the need for interdisciplinary management to prevent delayed treatment and reduce morbidity. Notably, this is the first reported case of postpartum sacroiliitis involving Haemophilus.
