Adolescent and Juvenile Idiopathic Scoliosis: Which Patients Obtain Good Results with 12 Hours of Cheneau-Toulouse-Munster Nighttime Bracing?
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThe results of 12 h nighttime Cheneau-Toulouse-Munster (CTM) brace wear on adolescent idiopathic scoliosis are poorly described.
objectiveThe main objective was to analyze the efficiency of 12 h nighttime CTM brace wear on adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. The secondary objective was to identify the factors influencing good results.
methodsOne hundred and fifty consecutive patients treated between 2006 and 2017 were retrospectively analyzed with subgroup analysis for the main curve pattern (main thoracic or main lumbar). The inclusion criteria were evolutive scoliosis, 12 h nighttime CTM brace wear, Risser stages 0-1-2 at the time of the prescription, and Cobb angle below 45 degrees. Success was defined as no surgery, and the main curve Cobb angle (CA) progression ≤5°. The overcurve was defined as the proximal thoracic curve above the main thoracic and mid-thoracic above the main lumbar curves. A logistic regression model was built to assess the predictors of success.
resultsOverall success was 70%: 60% for main thoracic (MT) and 84% for main lumbar scoliosis (ML) (
conclusionTwelve-hour nighttime CTM brace wear provided good results for main lumbar curves with balanced frontal C7 tilt. For MT, this treatment is indicated if the in-brace sagittal C7 tilt is well balanced from Risser stage 2.
