1 · What the graph read from it

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.

Abstract

backgroundAdolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is one of the most prevalent spinal deformities that may progress sharply during growth. The aim of this study will be to evaluate the efficacy of three-dimensionally integrated exercise on the Cobb angle, angle of trunk rotation, sagittal profile, and quality of life in patients with AIS. METHODS/

designThe study is designed as a randomized controlled trial. Participants include 42 patients with AIS aged 10-16 years. Randomly assigned patients will follow a 6-month treatment, either in a control group with standard care of observation following the Scoliosis Research Society criteria or in an experimental group with three-dimensionally integrated exercise for scoliosis. Blinded assessments at baseline and immediately after intervention will include the change of Cobb angle, angle of trunk rotation, sagittal index, and quality of life. DISCUSSION: If we find that the intervention is effective in improving Cobb angle, angle of trunk rotation, sagittal profile, and quality of life in patients with AIS, this trial will have a positive impact and warrant a change in clinical practice.
