Construction of the Adjusted Scoliosis 3D Finite Element Model and Biomechanical Analysis under Gravity.
Article in Orthopaedic surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
objectiveAdolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional structural deformity of the spine caused by the disruption of the biomechanical balance of the spine. However, the current biomechanical modeling and analysis methods of scoliosis cannot really describe the real state of the spine. This study aims to propose a high-precision biomechanical modeling and analysis method that can reflect the spinal state under gravity and provide a theoretical basis for therapeutics.
methodsCombining CT and X-ray images of AIS patients, this study constructed an adjusted three-dimensional model and FE model of the spine corresponding to the patient's gravity position, including vertebral bodies, intervertebral discs, ribs, costal cartilage, ligaments, and facet cartilage. Then, the displacement and stress of the spine under gravity were analyzed.
resultsA model of the T1-Sacrum with 1.7 million meshes was constructed. After adding the gravity condition, the maximum displacement point was at T1 of thoracic vertebra (20.4 mm). The analysis indicates that the stress on the lower surface of the vertebral body in thoracolumbar scoliosis tended to be locally concentrated, especially on the concave side of the primary curvature's vertebral body (the maximum stress on the lower surface of T9 is 32.33 MPa) and the convex side of the compensatory curvature's vertebral body (the maximum stress on the lower surface of L5 is 41.97 MPa).
conclusionThis study provides a high-precision modeling and analysis method for scoliosis with full consideration of gravity. The reliability of the method was verified based on patient data. This model can be used to analyze the biomechanical characteristics of patients in the treatment plan design stage.
