Side Plank Pose Exercises for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Patients-Some Concerns About a Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in Global advances in health and medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
In their recent article, Side Plank Pose Exercises for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Patients, Sarkisova, et. al. found no beneficial effect using the simple poses that Drs. Groessl, Sherman and I found successful in reversing adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and degenerative scoliosis (DS). Although they tried to follow our protocol exactly, they did not. They did not distinguish thoracic from lumbar or thoracolumbar from complex (both thoracic and lumbar) curves, affecting the randomization. See Figure 2 in their study. The side plank is only intended to reverse lumbar and thoracolumbar curves, and actually exaggerates thoracic curves, and the thoracic component of complex curves. The vicissitudes of randomization placed 25 lumbar and thoracolumbar curves in the control and non-compliant groups, but
