Risk factors of degenerative lumbar scoliosis in patients with lumbar spinal canal stenosis.

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
Lumbar spinal canal stenosis (LSCS) associated with degenerative scoliosis has being increasingly aware by the public and studied by many researchers. Degenerative changes leading to spinal stenosis can precede a spinal deformity which will develop into the de novo scoliosis. There are few studies focusing on the risk factors contributing to the degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS) in lumbar spinal stenosis patients.From September, 2017 to December, 2017, 181 patients who were diagnosed with LSCS in the outpatient department of our hospital were enrolled in this retrospective investigation. The patients were divided into 2 groups: DLS group (Cobb angle >10°) and LSCS group. Sex, age, smoking status (yes or no), occupation (heavy or light labor), body mass index (BMI), bone mineral density (BMD) and radiographic parameters including the lumbar lordosis (LL), pelvic incidence (PI), pelvic tilt (PT), sacral slope (SS), thoracic kyphosis (TK), coronal vertical axis, and sagittal vertical axis (SVA) are all evaluated as potential risk factors. Multivariate logistic regression analysis and receiver-operating characteristic curves were used to identify potential risk factors.Forty-five of 181 patients were diagnosed with DLS and involved in the DLS group. There were significant differences between the 2 groups in BMI (P < .001), LL (P = .0046), BMD (P < .001), SVA (P < .001), and TK (P = .047). BMD < -1.85 g/cm (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 0.030, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.008-0.107, P < .001), BMI >25.57 kg/m (AOR 1.270, 95% CI 1.040-1.551, P = .019), and SVA >3.98 cm (AOR 3.651, 95% CI 2.226-5.990, P < .001) had good accuracy to predict the formation of degenerative lumbar scoliosis based on degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis.Degenerative lumbar scoliosis has a high incidence in degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis. BMD <-1.85 g/cm, BMI >25.57 kg/m, and SVA >3.98 cm were the potential risk factors for the formation of degenerative lumbar scoliosis based on degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis.
