Safety and effectiveness of minimally invasive scoliosis surgery for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: a retrospective case series of 84 patients.
Article in European spine journal : official publication of the European Spine Society, the European Spinal Deformity Society, and the European Section of the Cervical Spine Research Society, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers.
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
purposeThe aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate a prospective series of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) who were treated with minimally invasive scoliosis surgery (MISS) technique with a minimum follow-up more than 1 year. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed the prospectively collected data of 84 patients with AIS treated with MIS technique using two or three coin hole size incisions and a muscle-splitting approach. The clinical and radiological data such as the correction of deformity, coronal and sagittal profile and record of the perioperative morbidity of the patients were analyzed.
resultsThe mean primary Cobb angle was corrected from 59.8° preoperatively to 18.6° postoperatively with a mean correction of 68.9% (p < 0.001). The mean kyphosis at T2 to T12 was maintained within normal range with an increase from 31.2° preoperatively to 35.3° postoperatively (p < 0.001). The 30-day perioperative complication rate was 7.14% with one deep infection and five cases of hemothorax. The mean operation time was 312.8 min; mean estimated blood loss was 846.6 ml (range 420-2800); and mean length of stay was 8.5 days (range 5 to 14). All data of postoperative SRS-22 questionnaire were significantly improved (p < 0.001).
conclusionMISS used for AIS provides adequate correction in both planes and acceptable rate of perioperative complications, with a low estimated blood loss and short length of stay. Considering all the positives, the application of MISS technique for AIS seems meaningful and can become a valid alternative to posterior approach in the routine use.
