Effect of clinical and radiological parameters on the quality of life in adult patients with untreated adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: a cross-sectional study.
Article in European spine journal : official publication of the European Spine Society, the European Spinal Deformity Society, and the European Section of the Cervical Spine Research Society, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeThe aim of this study is to evaluate the factors that affect health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in untreated adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients in adulthood. We investigate the effect of clinical and radiological parameters on the SRS-22 results.
methodsA total of 286 untreated adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients at adult age between April 2021 and April 2022 who were admitted to our clinic were included in the study. Rotational deformities were evaluated with a scoliometer. Cobb angles, coronal balance, clavicle angle, coronal pelvic tilt, trunk shift, and apical vertebral translation were measured in standing anteroposterior X-rays. The effect of each clinical and radiological parameter on SRS-22 results was evaluated.
resultsNo correlation was found between gender, age, curve type, presence of gibbosity or diagnosis time, and SRS-22 scores. A negative correlation was found between the BMI of the patients and the self-image scores (r = - 0.246, p < 0.01) and function scores (r = - 0.193, p < 0.05). Main thoracic (MT) gibbosity negatively correlates with self-image and total SRS-22 scores. Also, negative correlations were found between lumbar/thoracolumbar (LTL) gibbosity, function, and pain scores. MT Cobb angle magnitude was negatively correlated with self-image, mental health, and total SRS-22 scores. There were negative correlations between clavicle angle and mental health score, coronal pelvic tilt and self-image score, and apical vertebral translation and pain score.
conclusionBMI, MT gibbosity, LTL gibbosity, MT Cobb angle, clavicle angle, coronal pelvic tilt, and apical vertebral translation were negatively correlated with SRS-22 domains in untreated AIS patients in adulthood.
