1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Idiopathic scoliosis is the largest group of all forms of scoliosis in the growth phase accounting for 80-90%. A distinction is made between idiopathic infantile (0-3 years), juvenile (4-10 years) and adolescent scoliosis (>10 years), depending on the age when scoliosis appears. The treatment depends on the skeletal age, the Cobb angle and the progression behavior of scoliosis. Mild cases are treated conservatively using physiotherapy, exercises and bracing but in advanced stages scoliosis should be surgically treated. With existing growth potential various techniques, such as traditional growing rods, magnetically controlled growth rods and vertebral body tethering are available. After the end of the growth phase a fusion should be recommended for scoliosis >50°.
