Statistical changes of lung morphology in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis after spinal fusion surgery-a prospective nonrandomized study based on low-dose biplanar X-ray imaging.

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
Background: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients suffer from restrictive impairment of pulmonary function (PF) as a consequence of spinal and ribcage deformity. Statistic modelling of scoliotic geometry has been well-established based on low-dose biplanar X-ray device (EOS) imaging. However, the postoperative lung morphology change derived from EOS has not yet been studied adequately till now. Methods: Twenty-five female AIS patients with severe right-sided major thoracic curve (aged 13-31 years; Cobb angle 45°-92°) underwent posterior spinal fusion (PSF) were prospectively recruited for standing EOS imaging at preoperative, postoperative, and 1-year follow-up (1Y-FU) stages. EOS-based lung morphology at frontal and lateral view was measured respectively to assess serial statistical changes in area and height. Results: At frontal view, left lung area significantly increased postoperatively (104.7 Conclusions: EOS imaging demonstrates that left lung area in severe AIS may improve after PSF surgery. EOS may provide useful information about lung morphology change after PSF in severe AIS.
