Asymmetrical thoracic-lumbar coordination during trunk rotation between adolescents with and without thoracic idiopathic scoliosis.
Article in Spine deformity, 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
STUDY
designCross-sectional comparative study. PURPOSE: To compare thoracic-lumbar kinematic changes and coordination based on coupling angles (CAs) in two different directions of trunk rotation between adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and control subjects. Altered three-dimensional (3D) deviations are often apparent in AIS groups during functional activities, such as gait. However, there is a lack of consistent evidence on coordinated motions during different directions of trunk rotation.
methodsThis study included 14 AIS and 17 age-matched control subjects who were all right limb dominant. A motion capture system was utilized to analyze the spinal segment motions. The outcome measures included range of motion (ROM) at the first thoracic (T1), seventh thoracic (T7), and first lumbar (L1) spinous processes as well as the sacral tubercle (S1). The CAs compared in-phase (rotation from right to left) and anti-phase (rotation from left to right) trunk rotations.
resultsAlthough there was no significant association with the spinal segments in the control group, the Cobb angle demonstrated significant positive correlations with anti-phase at T7 and L1 as well as in-phase at L1. Regarding the CAs, the groups demonstrated a significant interaction with both phases (F = 4.7, p = 0.04). The AIS group demonstrated positive correlations with ROM during in-phase at L1 and anti-phase at T7 and L1.
conclusionThe coordination based on the CAs of the lumbar spine relative to the thoracic spine significantly decreased during left to right trunk rotation in the AIS group. These results indicated that the AIS group demonstrated directional dissociation toward the dominant side of lumbar rotation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III.
