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.

2 · The registry

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

Ninety-eight percent of skeletally immature patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) suffer from progressive neuromuscular scoliosis (NMS). Operative treatment has typically been limited to posterior spinal fusion (PSF), but a newer technique as described may be less invasive and preserve more function. A PSF of the entire spine to the pelvis is standard of care. However, maintenance of spinal flexibility, motion, and potential growth is desirable. We present a case for proof-of-concept of utilizing a surgical motion-preserving technique to treat progressive NMS in an 11year-old girl with T10 level (AIS B) paraplegia with a progressive 60° NMS of the lumbar spine. She had anterior scoliosis correction (ASC) from T11-L5 without fusion. Over 24 months, the curve growth-modulated to a residual of 12° with continued modulation to 7° at 3-year follow-up (skeletal maturity).
