Proposal of a new exercise protocol for idiopathic scoliosis: A preliminary study.
Article in Medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05392504 (Effects of Core Stabilization Exercises Versus Schroth's Program on Posture and Quality of Life in Females With Idiopathic Scoliosis.), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
In clinical practice, we found a unilateral instability in patients with right thoracic scoliosis during asymmetric spinal stabilization exercise (ASSE), which can be an important clue to identify the pathophysiology of idiopathic scoliosis (IS).We investigated the relationship between unilateral postural instability and weakness of paraspinal muscles according to curve pattern. And finally, we propose the new exercise method based on the curve pattern.Combined use of prospective and retrospective clinical trials.Fifteen participants without IS and 10 patients with IS in 1 tertiary referral hospital.In 15 participants without IS, surface electromyography (sEMG) was used to evaluate the muscular activation patterns in the bilateral erector spinae (ES), rectus abdominis (RA), and external oblique (EO) muscles during ASSE. In addition, to assess the clinical effect of ASSE, Cobb angle and rotation grade were measured from 10 patients with IS.The most significant findings from the sEMG data were the increased activities of ipsilateral 7th thoracic ES during hand-up motion, ipsilateral 3rd lumbar ES during leg-up motion, and 12th thoracic and 3rd lumbar ES during side-bridging. In a radiographic analysis, specific components of ASSE that activates the concave side muscles were found to be effective for IS.The paraspinal muscle strengthening of the concave side using ASSE can improve the severity of scoliosis. Based on this research, we could propose a new exercise protocol that can be personalized according to the curve pattern.
