Characteristics of Sciatic Scoliotic List in Lumbar Disc Herniation.
Article in Global spine journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
STUDY
designRetrospective radiological study.
objectivesPhysical examination reveals sciatic scoliotic list (SSL) in some patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH). We aimed to evaluate the coronal and sagittal parameters of the SSL curve, describe their characteristics, and establish a new classification system.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed 230 patients (SSL group = 96; non-SSL group = 134) diagnosed with single-segment LDH from January 2018 to December 2020. The control group comprised 70 healthy volunteers. Radiographic parameters were compared between the groups.
resultsIn the SSL group, the Cobb's angle was 12.5 ± 5.3° (4.2-31.2), trunk shift 26.2 ± 17.9 mm (.0-88.2 mm), and apical vertebral translation 31.7 ± 16.0 mm (1.18-8.58 mm). Further, 62.5% of patients had L4/5 disc herniation, 76.0% had disc herniation at the convex side of the lumbosacral scoliosis, and 81.3% had disc herniation at the opposite side of the trunk shift. Compared to the control group, lumbar lordosis and thoracic kyphosis decreased, pelvic tilt increased, and the sagittal vertical axis moved forward in the other patients. The sagittal imbalance in the SSL group exacerbated. Using the positional relationship between vertebrae and the central sacral vertical line (CSVL), we identified two main SSL patterns with which 95.8% of the patients were defined as Type 1.
conclusionsThe SSL curve is characterized by a long thoracic or thoracolumbar curve, with a relatively straight sagittal profile and little rotation. Further, the lumbar and thoracic vertebrae shifts are on the same side as the CSVL. These features of the SSL curve differentiate it from other types of structural scoliosis.
