Bone mineral density estimated by osteorisk in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
Article in Acta ortopedica brasileira, 2012. 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
objectiveThe prevalence of osteoporosis in patients with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is believed to be higher than in the general adolescent population. An alternative to radiology for the characterization of bone mineral density may be through correlative indexes like the Osteorisk index, which is easy to access and low in cost, and which helps the doctor in the request for Bone Densitometry. Our belief that osteoporosis can affect the evolution and treatment of AIS was what motivated us to conduct this study. Our objective was to subjectively evaluate bone mineral density by the Osteorisk index in patients with AIS.
methodsHealthy patients (control group, n=30) and patients with AIS (n = 30) were evaluated, documenting age, weight and height, and establishing the Osteorisk. The unpaired Student t test was performed, with a level of significance of p <0.05.
resultsThe mean Osteorisk found for the patients with AIS was 6.38 ± 2.2 while in the control group, it was 8.27 ± 2.14, which represents a low risk of developing osteoporosis in both groups. Comparing these means between the groups, a lower Osteorisk was observed in the AIS group.
conclusionOur study showed that there is low risk of developing osteoporosis in patients with AIS. Level of Evidence I, Prospective study.
