A Comparison Between the Perioperative Outcomes of Female Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) Versus Adult Idiopathic Scoliosis (AdIS) Following Posterior Spinal Fusion: A Propensity Score Matching Analysis Involving 425 Patients.
Article in Global spine journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
STUDY
designRetrospective propensity score matching (PSM) study.
objectiveTo investigate the perioperative outcomes comparing adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and adult idiopathic scoliosis (AdIS) patients following posterior spinal fusion (PSF).
methods425 female AIS and AdIS patients who were operated (between January 2015 to March 2020) using a dual attending surgeon strategy were stratified into G1 (AIS aged 10-16 years old) and G2 (AdIS > 20 years old). PSM analysis with one-to-one, nearest neighbor matching technique with match tolerance of 0.001 was used to matched 357 AIS patients to 68 AdIS patients. Operation duration, intraoperative blood loss (IBL), blood loss percentage, hemoglobin drift, blood salvaged, postoperative wound length, allogenic blood transfusion requirement, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative Cobb, correction rate and postoperative complications were documented and reported.
resultsFollowing PSM, G1 and G2 each had 50 patients with comparable and balanced covariates. As anticipated, G2 patients were heavier, taller and had higher body mass index compared to G1 patients (
conclusionAdolescent and adult female scoliosis patients had comparable perioperative outcome following PSF surgery that was carried out using a dual attending surgeon strategy.
