Long-Term Surgical Results of Skip Pedicle Screw Fixation for Patients with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: A Minimum-Ten-Year Follow-Up Study.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Skip pedicle screw fixation for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) requires fewer screws and can reduce the risk of neurovascular injury as compared with segmental pedicle screw fixation. However, the long-term impact of screw number reduction on correction and clinical results is unclear. This study examined the 10-year post-operative outcomes of skip pedicle screw fixation for patients with AIS. We reviewed the outcomes of 30 patients who underwent skip pedicle screw fixation for AIS. Radiological and clinical findings were assessed before and immediately, 2 years, and 10 years after surgery in the remaining 25 patients. The mean Cobb angle of the main curve preoperatively and immediately, 2 years, and 10 years post-operatively was 59.4°, 23.4°, 25.8°, and 25.60°, respectively, and was significantly improved at all post-surgical time points (all
