Changes in Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) of a Specific Group of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) Patients Who Came Across Both Bracing and Surgery.
Article in Indian journal of orthopaedics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
background/purpose of the studyChanges in health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of AIS patients coming across both bracing and surgery have not yet reported. These patients received two major clinical interventions and their HRQOL might be different from previous articles. The aim of this study is to evaluate the changes of HRQOL of a specific group of AIS patients who experienced both bracing and surgery.
methodsOne hundred and twenty-eight patients requiring surgery with prior bracing treatment were identified from the electronic record. SRS-22 questionnaire was completed at 7 time points crossing both interventions (namely "Before", "Bracing ≤ 1 year", "Bracing > 1 year", "Pre-op", "Post-op", "Post-op ≤ 1 year, and "Post-op 1-2 years").
resultsSRS-22 "Function", "Pain" and "Self-image" scores were decreased from "Before" to "Bracing ≤ 1 year" when started bracing and raised at "Bracing > 1 year". The 3 scores were dropped from "Bracing > 1 year" to "Pre-op", particularly on "Self-image". "Function" and "Pain" were significantly dropped from "Pre-op" to "Post-op" and kept raising until "Post-op 1-2 years". "Self-image" was improving after "Pre-op". "Mental" was relatively stable along the timeline.
conclusionThis study described the changes in HRQOL of a specific group of AIS patients. Scores were dropped after the two major clinical interventions and recovered afterwards. Medical professionals were able to plan and provide appropriate supports on the expected changes in HRQOL, especially on function, pain and mental.
