Idiopathic adolescent scoliosis and obesity: prevalence 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 12 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
purposeAdolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional spinal deformity that affects 5% of the population. This pathology has multiple known etiological factors such as family predisposition, female gender, low body mass index, decrease in lean and fat masses. However, recent studies suggest that ciliary dysfunction could be the origin of certain types of obesity and AIS. This study aims to verify the existence of a link between these two pathologies.
methodsA retrospective, cross-sectional, descriptive and monocentric study, based on a cohort of adolescents with obesity treated in a paediatric rehabilitation centre for specific care between 1 January 2010 and 1 January 2019. The prevalence of AIS was calculated by radiographic measurements. The diagnosis of AIS was established if the Cobb angle was ≥ 10°, associated with intervertebral rotation.
results196 adolescents with obesity were included in the study (mean age 13.2 years, mean BMI 36 kg/cm
conclusionsOur study established a correlation between AIS and obesity with a higher prevalence than in the general population. The morphology of these adolescents makes screening for AIS more difficult.
