Thoracic insufficiency syndrome: Approaches to assessment and management.
Review in Paediatric respiratory reviews, 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
Thoracic insufficiency syndrome (TIS) was described in 2003 as the inability of the thorax to support normal respiration or lung growth. TIS includes a broad and disparate group of typically degenerative thoracospinal conditions. Although TIS arises due to a heterogeneous group of disorders and thus its incidence is not well quantified, general approaches to management and treatment exist. Evolving imaging techniques and measurements of health-related quality of life augment tests of pulmonary function to quantify disease burden, longitudinally and pre- and post-intervention. Intervention is primarily via growth-sparing surgery, for which several device options exist, to preserve vertical growth prior to a definitive spinal fusion at skeletal maturity.
