Data-driven Classification of the 3D Spinal Curve in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis with an Applications in Surgical Outcome Prediction.
Article in Scientific reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional (3D) deformity of the spinal column. For progressive deformities in AIS, the spinal fusion surgery aims to correct and stabilize the deformity; however, common surgical planning approaches based on the 2D X-rays and subjective surgical decision-making have been challenged by poor clinical outcomes. As the suboptimal surgical outcomes can significantly impact the cost, risk of revision surgery, and long-term rehabilitation of adolescent patients, objective patient-specific models that predict the outcome of different treatment scenarios are in high demand. 3D classification of the spinal curvature and identifying the key surgical parameters influencing the outcomes are required for such models. Here, we show that K-means clustering of the isotropically scaled 3D spinal curves provides an effective, data-driven method for classification of patients. We further propose, and evaluate in 67 right thoracic AIS patients, that by knowing the patients' pre-operative and early post-operation clusters and the vertebral levels which were instrumented during the surgery, the two-year outcome cluster can be determined. This framework, once applied to a larger heterogeneous patient dataset, can further isolate the key surgeon-modifiable parameters and eventually lead to a patient-specific predictive model based on a limited number of factors determinable prior to surgery.
