Evaluation of changes in kyphosis angle, apex and quality of life of patients with Scheuermann kyphosis using Kyphologic brace.
Article in International journal of physiology, pathophysiology and pharmacology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06482203 (Comparison of Trunk Extensor Endurance Training Versus Scapular Mobilization in Patient With Thoracic Kyphosis.), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
introductionKyphosis treatment aims to prevent curve progression and deformity correction. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term beneficial effects of Kyphologic brace treatments in patients with Scheuermann kyphosis.
methodsThis retrospective case series study was performed on patients with Scheuermann kyphosis treated with a Kyphologic brace from 2013-2020. Demographic data, including age, gender, and duration of treatments, were extracted. Mean kyphosis angles before, one month and 1 year after treatments were collected. Patients were followed for at least 18 months after treatments. The location of kyphosis apex was also noted and classified into the following groups: upper thoracic, mid thoracic, lower thoracic, and thoracolumbar.
results48 patients with Scheuermann kyphosis enrolled in the present study. The mean age of the patients was 12.95 ± 1.4 years. The average follow-up time in this study was 23.02 ± 11.8 months. The mean kyphosis angle before treatments was 63.66 ± 9.51°, which decreased significantly after one month (to 43.33 ± 8.7°) and after 1 year (to 37.6 ± 9.4°) of treatments with Kyphologic brace compared to before treatments (P < 0.001). The most common location of kyphosis apex was in mid-thoracic with 77% frequency.
conclusionsIn this study, we showed that using a Kyphologic brace was associated with a significant reduction in kyphosis angle in patients. Our results emphasized the effectiveness of this brace in patients with Scheuermann kyphosis.
