Finite element analysis in brace treatment on adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
Review in Medical & biological engineering & computing, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a musculoskeletal disorder characterized as three-dimensional (3D) deformity, and bracing is a common conservative treatment for AIS. Finite element analysis (FEA) is a technique for numerically solving the differential equations arising in engineering and mathematical modeling and has been widely used in biomechanical studies. Recently, FEA has been under intensive focus to improve the clinical outcomes of brace treatment. This review focuses on using FEA to assist brace treatment for AIS and technique choices that may be encountered during the construction of the finite element model (FEM). The construction of geometric models, the mechanical property, element type, the boundary condition, and the observation items of FEA have been summarized while establishing FEM. In each technical aspect, different fields and limitations of FEA are discussed. The observation items based on FEA are collected in addition to the biomechanical value in clinical research. We also summarized the technical aspects of brace treatment by FEA and observation items and provided guidance and directions to improve the brace treatment.
