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
purposeUtilizing 2D measurements, previous studies have found that in AIS, increased thoracic Cobb and decreased thoracic kyphosis contribute to pulmonary dysfunction. Recent technology has improved our ability to measure and understand the true 3D deformity in AIS. The purpose of this study was to evaluate which 3D radiographic measures predict pulmonary dysfunction.
methodsOne hundred and sixty-three surgically treated AIS patients with preoperative PFTs (FEV, FVC, TLC) and EOS
resultsThere were 124 thoracic and 39 lumbar major curves. The range of preoperative thoracic and lumbar 3D coronal angle was 11-115° and 11-98°, respectively. The range of preoperative thoracic 3D kyphosis (T5-T12) and thoracic apical vertebral rotation was -56 to 44° and 0-29°, respectively. Increasing thoracic 3D Cobb and thoracic vertebral rotation and decreasing thoracic 3D kyphosis most significantly correlated with decreasing pulmonary function, especially FEV. In patients with the largest degree of thoracic deformity (3D Coronal Cobb > 80°, 3D thoracic lordosis >20°, and absolute apical rotation >25°), the majority of patients had moderate to severe pulmonary impairment (≤65 % predicted). 3D thoracic kyphosis was the most consistent predictor of FEV (r
conclusionsLarger thoracic coronal, sagittal, and axial deformities increase the risk of pulmonary impairment in patients with AIS. Of these, decreasing 3D thoracic kyphosis is the most consistent predictor. This information can guide surgeons in the decision making process for determining which surgical techniques to utilize and which component of the deformity to focus on.
