Young Patients' Satisfaction Following the Correction of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis in Saudi Arabia: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionPosterior spinal instrumented fusion remains the mainstay treatment for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) with acceptable post-operative patient satisfaction. However, in Saudi Arabia, patient satisfaction after surgical management for AIS has not been thoroughly studied. The purpose of this study was to determine patient satisfaction and quality of life using the Scoliosis Research Society-22r (SRS-22r, the most recent version) questionnaire after surgical correction of AIS in Saudi Arabia.
methodsA retrospective study was conducted that included patients who underwent posterior spinal instrumented fusion for AIS from January 1995 through December 2015. We included 115 patients (both males and females) in our study. We used the Arabic version of the SRS-22r questionnaire that was completed through telephonic interviews. Data collected were then analyzed using SPSS Statistics, version 23.
resultsThe mean age of our patients at the time of surgery was 15.0 ± 2.6 years and the average time from surgery to interview was 9.4 ± 4.7 years. A positive response was recorded in all domains including pain, function, mental health, and self-image. Furthermore, 76.5% of the patients were satisfied with their management outcome and 81.7% of the patients reported no complications.
conclusionSurgical correction of AIS improved the quality of life of our patients that was assessed using the Arabic version of the SRS-22r questionnaire. Apart from overall patient satisfaction, positive responses were recorded in all four domains of the SRS-22r questionnaire.
