Back pain in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis: the contribution of morphological and psychological factors.
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. It is linked to trial NCT07405112 (Impact of Curve Magnitude), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
purposeTo define the relationship between 3D radiological features, psychological factors, and back pain prevalence and intensity in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).
methodsConsecutive AIS patients answered self-reported questionnaires and underwent simultaneous posterior-anterior and lateral scans of the spine (EOS Imaging, Paris, France). 3D reconstructions of the spine and pelvis reported 18 parameters in the coronal, sagittal, and axial plane.
resultsHundred and twenty-four patients with AIS were included in the study. Overall, 90% of AIS patients reported having some back pain over the last 6 months and 85.8% over the last 30 days. Pain intensity in the last month was reported to be mild in 37.5%, moderate in 31.8%, moderate to severe in 24.3%, and severe in 6.54% of cases. Location of back pain was associated with location of main curve (P = 0.036). Low back pain was associated with higher lumbar apical AVR and lower lumbar lordosis (P < 0.05). Independent risk factors for back pain in AIS were pain catastrophizing (B = 0.061, P = 0.035), poorer self-reported state of mental health (B = - 0.872, P = 0.023), decreased thoracic kyphosis (B = - 0.033, P = 0.044) and greater pelvic asymmetry (B = 0.146, P = 0.047). There was a significant association between self-reported pain intensity in the last 24 h and levels of catastrophizing. Pain catastrophizing level influenced the relationship between deformity severity and pain intensity. In low catastrophizers, there was a significant association between greater deformity severity and higher pain levels.
conclusionsBack pain in AIS is multifactorial and associated with psychological and morphological parameters. Pain catastrophizing is an important construct in AIS-related pain and should be taken into consideration when evaluating these patients.
