Revision sacroiliac joint fusion: mid-term patient-reported outcomes.
Article in Journal of spine surgery (Hong Kong), 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
Background: Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) fusion is an accepted management strategy of SIJ dysfunction. However, revision SIJ fusion (RSIJF) may be required in up to 12 percent of cases, and data are limited regarding patient outcomes following RSIJF. This study analyzes the clinical, radiographic, and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) after RSIJF. Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of patients who underwent RSIJF from 2017 to 2024. All RSIJF utilized a principles-based approach: joint decortication, bone grafting, compression, and rigid stability. PROs at preoperative, 6-month, 1-year, and 2-year follow-up timepoints were recorded for Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE), Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Pain Interference (PROMIS PI), and PROMIS Physical Function (PF). Fusion was assessed by computed tomography (CT) after ≥1 year. Results: A total of 62 RSIJF were performed in 48 patients. SANE scores demonstrated sustained improvement across 6-month to 2-year timepoints (64.6% Conclusions: RSIJF offers sustained moderate improvements in pain and function, as evidenced by PROs at extended follow-up. Improvements were moderate, highlighting a difficult diagnosis and patient population commonly endorsing multiple pain generators.
