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
introductionThere are few reports on body composition, particularly muscle mass, in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). The purpose of this study was to measure body composition including muscle mass and estimated bone mass of patients with AIS using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and to clarify the relationship between the degree of scoliosis and body composition.
methodsThe subjects were 210 girls (mean age 14.0 years, range 10-18 years) whose body composition was evaluated using BIA (Tanita MC-780). Body mass index (BMI), percent body fat (%BF), lean muscle mass index (LMI: muscle mass/height^2), and estimated bone mass index (eBoneMI: estimated bone mass/height^2) were determined by age and compared with those of previous reports. We divided 111 subjects whose bone maturation was complete into two groups for comparison of body composition metrics: those with Cobb angle <40° (moderate scoliosis group) and those with Cobb angle ≥40° (severe scoliosis group). The relationships between Cobb angle and each body composition parameter were evaluated.
resultsAge-adjusted BMI, %BF, and LMI tended to be low at all ages compared with means for the healthy Japanese population as previously reported. BMI, LMI, and eBoneMI were significantly lower in the severe scoliosis group compared with those in the moderate scoliosis group (p<0.05). In addition, all BMI, LMI, and eBoneMI were weakly correlated with Cobb angle (r= -0.20, -0.26, and -0.24).
conclusionsOn the basis of the results of this study, patients with AIS are thinner, with lower BMI, %BF, and LMI compared with healthy girls of the same age. Furthermore, factors such as lower BMI, lower muscle mass, and lower estimated bone mass were correlated with progressive scoliosis.
