Early intervention versus standard of care for mild idiopathic scoliosis: A case-controlled series based on SOSORT criteria evaluating the impact of a scoliosis activity suit.
Article in Clinics and practice, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
In the present study, a group of adolescent patients diagnosed with mild adolescent idiopathic scoliosis wore a scoliosis activity suit instead of maintaining the recommended observation only strategy. These patients wore the scoliosis activity suit for up to 60 minutes twice daily while performing normal daily activities. These patients were followed through until end of growth. Their end of growth results were compared to a group of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients who only participated in observation. The group who wore the scoliosis activity suit maintained their curve measurements through skeletal maturity, while the observation group saw their curves increase an average of 7 degrees. This study showed that a group of AIS patients were able to prevent their curves from progressing during growth, while those participating in an observation-only strategy saw their curves progress to beyond threshold where rigid brace prescription is recommended. These changes were statistically significant in intergroup comparison, as well as intragroup before and after comparison.
