Saudi patients outcomes after surgical treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundIn order to improve post-operative patient's quality-of-life, attention must be paid to the identification of factors that play a role in patient's satisfaction with surgical treatment. Patient satisfaction with the outcomes of scoliosis surgery has not been addressed so comprehensively in Saudi literature, as well as the effect of patient satisfaction on the different domains of the SRS-22 questionnaire and radiographic parameters is yet to be reported locally. The aim of this study is to explore such findings especially in our population.
methodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted at two of the largest centers of spine surgery in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. A total of 316 eligible patients were selected via consecutive sampling technique. Data were collected from eligible patients who fit our inclusion criteria, which includes patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis aged from 10 to 21 years. Student t test, Pearson's and Spearman's correlation coefficients statistical tests were used.
resultsThere were 283 (89.6%) females and 33 (10.4%) male patients with a mean age of 15.09 (± 2.27 SD) years. All the domains of SRS-22 showed significantly higher scores 2-year postoperatively, when compared with preoperative values (P < 0.001). The change in all SRS-22 domains correlated positively and significantly with the 2-year postoperative satisfaction using Pearson's correlation coefficient (P < 0.05); the total score showed the highest correlation followed by the self-image domain. The major Cobb angle correction percentage correlated significantly (P < 0.05) solely with the change in pain domain.
conclusionSelf-image correlated highly and significantly with patient satisfaction postoperatively. It also had the biggest influence SRS-22 scores postoperatively in conjunction with satisfaction scores. That is an indication of the role it plays in patient satisfaction and quality-of-life postoperatively, which may influence the surgical decision making.
