Brace-Related Stress and Quality-of-Life Parameters in Adolescents with Idiopathic Scoliosis.
Article in Spine surgery and related research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Introduction: This study investigated brace-related stress, trunk appearance perception, and quality of life in adolescent girls with idiopathic scoliosis who wear the Milwaukee brace for treatment. Methods: Fifty-two adolescent girls with idiopathic scoliosis participated in this study. They had been under treatment with Milwaukee brace for at least three months. They filled out four questionnaires, including the revised 22-item Scoliosis Research Society questionnaire (SRS-22r), the Brace Questionnaire (BrQ), the Bad Sobernheim Stress Questionnaire-Brace (BSSQ-Brace), and the Trunk Appearance Perception Scale (TAPS). Results: Twenty participants had high stress levels, and thirty-two had moderate stress levels. The total score and emotional and social function scores of the BrQ were significantly higher in participants with high stress compared to those with moderate stress. There was no significant difference between the two groups in the SRS-22r and TAPS questionnaires scores. However, a high Cobb angle had significantly worsened their perception of trunk appearance. Conclusions: It seems that among quality-of-life parameters, social and emotional functions are more affected by stress level in treating adolescent girls with idiopathic scoliosis with a brace. In addition, patients with high stress levels have a worse perception of their trunk appearance.
