Case series: 3D printed orthopedic brace combined with traditional manipulative physiotherapy to treat new-onset scoliosis in adults.
Article in Medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionNew-onset scoliosis in adults is different from that in congenital and idiopathic scoliosis. We applied personalized custom 3D printed orthopedic braces combined with traditional manipulative physiotherapy to treat adult patients with new-onset scoliosis and observed the effectiveness of the treatment. PATIENT CONCERNS: Nine patients aged 20-52 years presented with unequal height of hips and asymmetrical waist. One shoulder was obviously protruding or enlarged compared to the other; when lying on the bed, the legs were not equal in length, and when bending down, the back was not equal on the left and right. DIAGNOSIS: New-onset scoliosis.
interventionsApplication of individual customized 3D printing brace combined with traditional treatment. Evaluation of clinical efficacy after treatment, including functional exercise test (FMS) before and after treatment, ability of daily living (ADL), visual analog pain score (VAS), and scoliosis angle (Cobb angle). OUTCOMES: The total effective treatment rate was 100.00% (9/9). The VAS score, Cobb angle of the spine, FMS test, and ADL test were significantly improved compared with those before treatment.
conclusionThe customized 3D printed orthopedic brace combined with traditional techniques to treat scoliosis and innovatively combined human bionic technology with traditional medicine to achieve the continuity and precise correction of scoliosis treatment is a clinically effective technique.
