Anterior Vertebral Body Tethering for Skeletally Immature Patients with AIS: Indication for Spinal Fusion at Skeletal Maturity Is Not Obviated in 60% of Cases.

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
The role of anterior vertebral body tethering (aVBT) in obviating the need for spinal fusion in patients with AIS remains unclear, and a large amount of variation exists in the data among different studies. The present study aims to investigate and analyze what factors have a potential influence on aVBT outcome. Skeletally immature patients with AIS who underwent aVBT for scoliosis correction were followed up until skeletal maturity. The mean age at the time of surgery was 13.4 ± 1.1, and the mean follow-up time was 2.5 ± 0.5 years. The Cobb angle of the main curve was 46.6 ± 9° at the time of surgery and was significantly corrected to 17.7 ± 10.4° (
