Review in Journal of clinical orthopaedics and trauma. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06277089 (Curve Correction of Early Onset Scoliosis by Mehta Serial Casts), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

Casting is being utilized as a therapeutic strategy in some mild to moderate cases obviating surgical intervention for management of early-onset scoliosis (EOS). Bracing, another conservative modality, applies comparable correcting forces on chest wall and axial skeleton. But cast application carries additional advantage of sustained restorative force which bypasses issue of compliance seen with brace wear. There is no specific blanket treatment, conservative or surgical, for the early-onset spinal deformities. Serial cast application provides near total correction of less severe curves (less than 50
