Posterior-only correction surgery for idiopathic scoliosis Lenke type 5c: differences of strategies and outcomes between adult patients and adolescent patients.
Article in Spine deformity, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeTo compare radiographic parameters, and functional and surgical outcomes between lumbar adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and lumbar adult idiopathic scoliosis (AdIS).
methodsA retrospective study was performed to identify Lenke 5c type AIS and AdIS patients from our scoliosis database who had undergone posterior surgical treatment for scoliosis. Preoperative and postoperative radiographic and clinical outcomes were compared between the two groups.
resultsA total of 22 patients were included in AdIS group, and 44 matched patients in AIS group. AdIS group had significantly larger L3 and L4 tilt and translation than AIS group (P < 0.05). AdIS group had larger T10-L2 angle and smaller T5-T12 angle (P < 0.05). AdIS group had higher VAS scores (P < 0.05) and pain domain of SRS-22 scores (P < 0.05) as compared to AIS group. Correlation analysis demonstrated positive relationship between VAS scores and T10-L2 angle (r = 0.492, P < 0.05). AdIS group was fused longer than AIS group (P < 0.05). Cobb angle of TL/L curve was larger and correction ratio was smaller at AdIS group (P < 0.05). AdIS group still had significantly larger L3 and L4 tilt and translation than AIS group (P < 0.05). CT measurements demonstrated larger postoperative vertebral body rotation at apical vertebrae and LIV at AdIS group (P < 0.05). Vertebral correction ratio was smaller at AdIS group (P < 0.05).
conclusionLenke 5c AdIS patients had greater preoperative and postoperative L3 and L4 tilt and translation, as well as less correction of major curve and vertebral body derotation than AIS patients. However, the incidence of adding-on was similar between the two groups.
