The asymmetrical ESR1 signaling in muscle progenitor cells determines the progression of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.

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
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is a common pediatric skeletal disease highly occurred in females. The pathogenesis of AIS has not been fully elucidated. Here, we reveal that ESR1 (Estrogen Receptor 1) expression declines in muscle stem/progenitor cells at the concave side of AIS patients. Furthermore, ESR1 is required for muscle stem/progenitor cell differentiation and disrupted ESR1 signaling leads to differentiation defects. The imbalance of ESR1 signaling in the para-spinal muscles induces scoliosis in mice, while reactivation of ESR1 signaling at the concave side by an FDA approved drug Raloxifene alleviates the curve progression. This work reveals that the asymmetric inactivation of ESR1 signaling is one of the causes of AIS. Reactivation of ESR1 signaling in para-spinal muscle by Raloxifene at the concave side could be a new strategy to treat AIS.
