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

objectiveProvide an update on minimal invasive surgery (MIS) techniques for surgical management of pediatric spine.

methodsMinimal Invasive surgery for pediatric spine deformity has evolved significantly over the past decade. We include updated information about the surgical management of patients with adolescent idiopathic and Early Onset Scoliosis through MIS techniques. We take into consideration the implementation of this technique in Low-to-Middle Income Countries (LMICs).

resultsAlthough MIS began as a technique in adult and degenerative spine, recent publications on MIS in pediatric spine cases report benefits of decreased blood loss and infection incidence, and cosmetic advantages from fewer incision numbers. Adoption of MIS techniques in pediatric spine can be facilitated with pre- and intraoperative use of pertinent medical systems.

conclusionWith appropriate considerations and training, MIS is a safe procedure for pediatric spine correction surgery and can be applicable in LMICs.
