Clinical efficacy of short-term pre-operative halo-pelvic traction in the treatment of severe spinal deformities complicated with respiratory dysfunction.

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
backgroundHalo traction has been used as an adjunctive method in the treatment of severe spinal deformities. But there are few reports on the clinical efficacy of halo-pelvic traction (HPT) in the treatment of severe spinal deformities complicated with respiratory dysfunction. This study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy and complications associated with pre-operative HPT in the treatment of severe spinal deformities with respiratory dysfunction.
methodsThirty patients with severe spinal deformities complicated with respiratory dysfunction treated with short-term pre-operative HPT were retrospectively reviewed. Inclusion criteria were: (1) patients with severe kyphoscoliosis (coronal Cobb angle or kyphosis angle ≥100°) and respiratory failure, (2) patients undergoing HPT until posterior fusion surgery. All patients underwent general anesthesia for HPT application, which the pelvic ring used in this study was a half-ring, and the rods were all placed on the anterolateral side of the truck.
resultsThe major coronal curve scoliosis averaged 116.00 ± 16.70° and was reduced to 63.23 ± 14.00° after HPT, 46.33 ± 10.70° after surgery. The major kyphosis was 102.40 ± 27.67° and was reduced to 52.23 ± 14.16° after HPT, 42.0 ± 11.92° after surgery. A significantly increased FVC was observed after HPT (p < 0.001), with a significantly improved FVC% (p < 0.001). Similarly, a significantly increased FEV1 was also observed (p < 0.001), with a significantly improved FEV1% (p < 0.001).
conclusionThis study indicated that the modified HPT could be used to help patients with severe spinal deformities complicated with respiratory dysfunction achieve significant correction in both the coronal and sagittal deformities during the pre-operative treatment period along with improved respiratory function and in the absence of severe complications.
