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

aimsThis study aimed to explore the effects of vertebral rotation on the position of the aorta relative to the thracolumbar and lumbar spine, and to identify risk factors for vertebral rotation in patients with adult degenerative scoliosis (ADS).

methodsA total of 71 patients with ADS were divided into left scoliosis (LS) group (

resultsThere was no statistical difference in the distribution of apical vertebrae between LS and RS groups. Nash-Moe classification was of no significance between the two groups. When there was a larger Cobb angle and coronal horizontal movement, a greater γ in LS group and a lower γ in RS group were noted (both

conclusionVertebral rotation could be predicted by Cobb angle or coronal horizontal movement measured on X-ray in ADS patients and aorta maintained in a relatively normal position in patients with ADS.
