Post-Injection Sciatic Neuropathy: MR Neurography Findings in a Case of Iatrogenic Nerve Injury.
Article in Journal of neurological surgery reports, 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
Post-injection sciatic neuropathy is a recognized iatrogenic complication of intragluteal injection. We report a case of a young adult presenting with progressive complete paralysis of the left lower limb following intragluteal injection. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated focal thickening and T2/short-tau inversion recovery (STIR) hyperintensity of the sciatic nerve in the gluteal region, without neuroma or discontinuity and without associated muscle denervation changes. These findings were consistent with post-injection sciatic neuropathy, likely representing axonotmesis. MR neurography was useful in confirming the site and extent of injury and in excluding structural complications. This case highlights the characteristic imaging appearance of injection-related sciatic nerve injury and emphasizes the importance of correct injection technique.
