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

aimsIn this study we have considered the three dimensional corrective forces for correction of scoliosis by using a patient specific finite element model. MATERIALS AND

methodsAn objective function of corrective forces in three-dimensional space was defined. Computed tomography images were used to reconstruct three dimensional model of scoliotic trunk. Computer aided engineering software Abaqus was used to establish finite element model of deformed spine and its biomechanical characteristics were analyzed. By adjusting magnitude and position of corrective forces, objective function was minimized to achieve best orthopedic effect. The proposed corrective conditions were divided into three groups: (1) thoracic deformity; (2) lumbar deformity; (3) both thoracic and lumbar deformities were considered.

resultsIn all three cases, the objective function was reduced by 58, 52, and 63%, respectively. The best correction forces point was located on convex side of maximum displacement of vertebral body.

conclusionUsing minimum objective function method, spinal deformity in three-dimensional space can be sufficiently reduced. This study provides scientific basis for design of a new corrective brace for treatment of scoliosis.
