Statistical modelling of how the sagittal alignment of the cervical spine is affected by adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and how scoliosis surgery changes that.

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
The relationship between the sagittal shape of the cervical spine and that of the thoracolumbar spine is established in the normal spine. Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is recognised as a change in the shape of the spine in both the coronal and sagittal planes. The effects of AIS on the alignment of the cervical spine, including the effects of surgery, has been less well studied. The objective of this study was to identify, using regression analysis, the significant relationships between the alignment of the thoracolumbar spine, in both the coronal and sagittal planes, and the sagittal alignment of the cervical spine in AIS. This study used coronal and sagittal radiographic measures from a group with AIS, both pre and post-operatively, which were analysed using multiple linear regression methods to identify significant parameters that explain the sagittal shape of the cervical spine. There were 51 pairs of pre and post-operative radiographs analysed, 40 of which were Lenke 1 curves and 11 Lenke 3 curves. Posterior spinal fusion was performed for all. The significant parameters pre-operatively were T1 slope, thoracic kyphosis, lumbar lordosis and SVA with an R
