Curve location influences spinal balance in coronal and sagittal planes but not transversal trunk motion in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis: a prospective observational study.
Observational study 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 10 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
purposeIn adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), spinal deformity can be seen in the thoracic or in the lumbar area. Although differences according to curve location are well described on standard radiographs, dynamic consequences of such difference remain unclear. Our objective was to explore the differences in dynamic spinal balance according to curve location in AIS patients using gait analysis
methodsWe prospectively included 22 females with AIS planned for surgical correction (16.3 years old, 81% Risser ≥ 4). Patients were divided into two matched cohorts, according to major curve location [right thoracic (Lenke 1) or left lumbar (Lenke 5)]. Gait analysis was performed the day before surgery. Global balance was analyzed as the primary outcome. Local curves parameters (dynamic Cobb angles) were defined as the secondary outcome.
resultsIn coronal plane, Lenke 5 patients had a left trunk shift, whereas trunk was shifted to the right in Lenke 1 patients (- 20.7 vs 6.3, p = 0.001). In the sagittal plane, the main difference between the two groups was T12 position that remained over the pelvis during gait in Lenke 5 patients, whereas it was anterior to the pelvis in Lenke 1 patients. In the transversal plane, Lenke 5 and Lenke 1 patients presented the same gait abnormalities, with a global trunk rotation to the left (- 4.8 vs - 7.6, p = 0,165).
conclusionThis is the first study to provide the results of a direct comparison between Lenke 1 and Lenke 5 patients during gait. Curve location influenced coronal and sagittal balance, but abnormalities of transversal trunk motion were the same, wherever the curve was located.
