Clinical outcomes of posterior pedicle screw instrumentation without osteotomy in the management of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
Article in Medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The aim of the study was to identify the effectiveness of posterior pedicle screw instrumentation without osteotomy in the management of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).The AIS patients underwent standing anteroposterior and lateral radiography before and after surgery. Age, sex, Lenke type, preoperative and postoperative Cobb angle, and all the related complications were recorded at final follow-up.We investigated data from 137 AIS patients who underwent posterior pedicle screw instrumentation without osteotomy from January 2012 to January 2016 with >2 years follow-up. Mean age was 14.3 ± 1.5 years at operation. The preoperative and latest postoperative coronal Cobb angle was 60 ± 12° and 9 ± 5°, respectively. Additionally, complications were noted in 6 patients. However, the prognosis of all the AIS patients was good, and the satisfaction of the Scoliosis Research Society Outcomes Instrument (SRS-22) questionnaire was 4.4 ± 0.5 at final follow-up.In the management of mild and moderate AIS, satisfactory clinical results can be obtained using posterior pedicle screw instrumentation without osteotomy.
