Minimal invasive posterior correction of Lenke 5C idiopathic scoliosis: comparative analysis of minimal invasive vs. open surgery.
Article in Archives of orthopaedic and trauma surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
introductionSurgical management of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis in spite of usually favourable outcomes is still a major operation. Therefore, efforts are being undertaken to minimalize the procedure, reduce the surgical trauma and postoperative convalescence. The study was designed to compare posterior minimal invasive surgery using navigation based on intraoperative 3D imaging and standard open instrumented fusion in Lenke 5C idiopathic scoliosis treatment. MATERIALS AND
methodsFrom eight patients with Lenke 5C curves planned for posterior correction and instrumented fusion, four were treated with minimally invasive and four had open procedure. Operation length, estimated blood loss, number of fusion levels, days of opioid intake, length of hospital stay and radiation doses required were noted. Radiographic assessment of spinal curvatures was performed (magnitude, flexibility, sagittal alignment). The comparison of the data was done between open and minimally invasive treated patients.
resultsIn minimally invasive surgery group, the operations were longer on average 285 min ± 47.5 than in the open surgery group, 242.5 min ± 44.5 (p = 0.371) and resulted in slightly inferior coronal curve correction by 68.25% ± 6.2 vs. 78.25% ± 8.8, respectively (p = 0.072). We observed a clear reduction of intraoperative blood loss in minimally invasive patients (mean 138.75 ± 50 vs. 450 ± 106 ml, p = 0.016), shorter hospital stay, average 3.75 vs. 7 days (p = 0.043) and lower opioid requirements postoperatively - 2 vs. 3.25 days (p = 0.015).
conclusionsThe minimally invasive approach to idiopathic scoliosis treatment is a very promising technique to limit the extent of surgery maintaining the same goals as in the open method. It allows for lower blood loss, less requirement for opioids and a shorter hospital stay.
