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
purposeA prospective, cross-sectional study to determine the impact of arm position on the 3D spine and pelvic parameters and postural balance in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
methodsA total number of 37 adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients were enrolled prospectively. Three arm positions, (1) 45° shoulder flexion with knuckles on clavicles, (2) 90° shoulder and elbow flexion with forearms and palms on the front wall, and (3) arms hanging on either side, were instructed to the cohort. Bi-planar low dose X-ray images of the spine and pelvis were registered in a stereoradiography system in the first and second arm positions. A pressure mat recorded the position of the center of pressure in each arm position. Spinal and pelvic parameters were measured for the cohort. Statistical analysis was performed to determine the agreement between the spinal and pelvic parameters and standing balance in different arm positions.
resultsThoracic kyphosis, sacral slope, sagittal vertical axis, T1 tilt, and spinal height were significantly different between the knuckles on clavicle and forearms on the wall positions p < 0.05. Significant differences were observed in the pressure distribution under the feet between the wall and freestanding positions. Bland-Altman plots determined disagreements between the first and second arm positions in clinical measurements and postural assessment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
conclusionThe knuckles on clavicles position replicates the functional standing balance in AIS. Significant differences between the spinal and pelvic parameters suggest that the wall and clavicle arm positions should not be used interchangeably in AIS postural assessment. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Diagnostic level II.
