[Is it possible to improve treatment safety in the brace treatment of scoliosis patients by using standardized CAD algorithms?]
Article in Der Orthopade, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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.
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
backgroundThe treatment of scoliosis patients with corrective braces today still leads to quite different results. The published success rates between 50 and 90% inevitably lead to the question of how the success rates of brace treatment can be increased and standardized. The results of a computer aided design (CAD) Chêneau application, developed with this objective, are presented. MATERIALS AND
methodsOn the reporting date (December 8, 2019), the prospectively created database of our department was evaluated retrospectively. Only immature girls with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), aged 10-14 years, Risser signs 0-2, were included in the database.
resultsBoth the entire group with an observation period of at least 18 months and the patient groups with completed treatment had success rates between 86 and 88%. Overall, the results were significantly better than the 72% success rate of the Boston Brace Control Group (BRAIST). In comparison with the results of other Chêneau derivatives, the success rate of our series was distinctly better.
conclusionsTreatment safety in brace treatment for patients with scoliosis should be improved. One approach may be the use of standardized CAD libraries. Further investigations with study designs of higher evidence are necessary to support the results found in our investigation.
