The first study of epidemiology of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis shows lower prevalence in females of Jammu and Kashmir, India.

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
AIS is a heterogeneous 3D spinal deformity with Cobb angle ≥10°. It affects children in the age group of 10-16 years globally with 2-3% prevalence and significant female predominance. The exact etiology of AIS is not known however, it is supposed to be associated with factors such as anthropometric, metabolic, neuromuscular abnormalities and genetics.
objectivesTo determine the prevalence of AIS and association of anthropometric factors with AIS in the studied population group. METHODOLOGY: Scoliosis screening of 9,500 individuals was carried out at different educational institutions of Jammu region in Jammu and Kashmir, India using a scoliosis-meter. The subjects were later examined radiologically.
resultsIn population of the region, AIS was most prevalent among all types of scoliosis with overall prevalence of 0.61%. The prevalence was observed to be lower in females (0.31%) than males (0.88%). Based on angle of trunk rotation (ATR), lumbar curves were more prevalent than thoracic curves. Average Cobb angle in males and females were 24.9° and 22.6°, respectively. BMI showed significant association with AIS in the age group of 12-16 years (
conclusionsThe AIS patients in the Jammu region of India have unique clinical features. In contrast to the global prevalence data, the prevalence of AIS in females in the region was less in comparison to males. Based on epidemiological literature and our findings, we hypothesized that genetic factors might be a major contributor in the AIS pathogenesis along with other confounding factors such as height, BMI, ethnicity, etc.
