The Effect of the Schroth Rehabilitation Exercise Program on Spinal and Feet Alignment in Adolescent Patients with Idiopathic Scoliosis: A Pilot Study.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06407843 (Effects of Schroth Method on Curve Magnitude, Endurance of Lumbar Extensors, and Chest Mobility in Idiopathic Scoliosis), which is not on this map. Cited by 8 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.

Abstract
backgroundThis study investigated the therapeutic effects of 12-week Schroth rehabilitation exercises (SRE) in improving Cobb's angle, scoliometer readings, lumbar lordosis, and the calcaneal valgus angle of patients with idiopathic scoliosis.
methodsThis pilot study included 60 adolescent patients diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis by a rehabilitation physician based on a Cobb's angle of ≥10° using total anteroposterior plain radiography. Patients were classified into groups with a Cobb's angle of 10-19° (G1), 20-29° (G2), and ≥30° (G3). Cobb's angle, scoliometer readings, lumbar lordosis, and calcaneal valgus angles were analyzed before and after the 12-week SRE.
resultsSRE improved Cobb's angle (-6.85), scoliometer readings (-2.80), lumbar lordosis (4.23), and calcaneal valgus angles (left, -3.76; right, -2.83) regardless of the initial scoliosis angle, and within-group changes were significant (
conclusionSRE can be used for patients with idiopathic scoliosis to improve asymmetric musculoskeletal morphology and the patient's quality of life.
