The value of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring during positioning in pediatric scoliosis correction: A case report.

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: Prone position during posterior spine surgery can represent a potentially risky procedure for the nervous system. Infrequent injuries due to prone positioning consist of subtle spinal cord infarction or myelopathy that can be promptly detected by intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM), if applied in this phase of surgery. Here, we report a case that stresses the value of IONM even in detecting spinal positioning-related neurological complications during kyphoscoliosis correction. Case presentation: A 3-year-old child with a severe thoracic kyphoscoliosis with the angle in the tract T5-T6 underwent an early treatment of scoliosis with growing rods. Before instrumentation or the reduction maneuver, lower limb somatosensory and motor responses disappeared. The patient was repositioned with neck and chest in a more protective position and neuromonitoring signals returned to baseline. The surgery could be completed and the patient had no postoperative neurologic or vascular deficits. Conclusion: Our findings suggest the importance of extending neuromonitoring in the early phases of anesthesia induction and patient positioning during corrective spinal deformity surgery.
