Management of sacroiliac joint pain: current concepts.
Synthesis in European journal of orthopaedic surgery & traumatology : orthopedie traumatologie, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
introductionManaging sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain is challenging and unpredictable. There are no internationally accepted recommendations. In light of the lack of global consensus and guidelines and the ongoing advancements in management options, a widely accepted treatment algorithm remains absent. This systematic review updates and evaluates the existing evidence on strategies for managing SIJ pain.
methodsThis study followed the guidelines defined in the 2020 PRISMA statement. All clinical studies concerning the clinical management of SIJ pain were considered. Web of Science, PubMed, and Embase were accessed in January 2025 without additional filters or temporal constraints. The risk of bias evaluation and statistical analysis followed the guidelines described in the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions.
resultsFifteen randomised controlled trials, 13 clinical trials, and 10 retrospective studies were included. Data from 2666 patients (1429 women) were retrieved. The mean length of follow-up was 14.7 ± 15.2 months. The mean age was 54.0 ± 5.8 years, and the mean BMI was 28.5 ± 2.5 kg/m
conclusionManaging SIJ pain is challenging due to limited and inconsistent evidence. Treatment progresses from conservative options, physiotherapy, lifestyle changes, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to more invasive approaches like injections, radiofrequency denervation, and, in severe cases, surgical management. Research limitations include small sample sizes, short follow-ups, and inconsistent methodologies. Future high-quality studies are needed to establish clear diagnostic and treatment guidelines, compare techniques, and explore new therapies like regenerative medicine.
