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

objectivesThis study aims to evaluate the effects of bracing on the Cobb angle and sagittal spinopelvic parameters in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients. PATIENTS AND

methodsA total of 25 adolescents (2 males, 23 females; mean age 12.7±1.6; range, 10-15 years) with AIS who received bracing between January 2000 and June 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The initial and final out-of-brace radiographs of 25 AIS patients were analyzed with regard to the spinopelvic parameters. The pelvic incidence (PI), pelvic tilt (PT), sacral slope (SS), Cobb angle, thoracic kyphosis (TK), and lumbar lordosis (LL) were measured.

resultsThe mean age at the initiation of bracing was 12.7±1.6 years. The mean initial Cobb angle was 31.8°±5.9°. There were no statistically significant differences between the baseline and the final measurements of the PI, PT, and SS. However, there were statistically significant differences between the baseline and the final measurements of the TK, LL, and Cobb angle. A significant correlation was observed between the PI and Cobb angle and TK and between the LL and SS.

conclusionOur study results show significant associations between the sagittal pelvic parameters and the spinal parameters during the brace treatment of adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis.
