Measuring Quality of Life in Adults with Scoliosis: A Cross-Sectional Study Comparing SRS-22 and ISYQOL Questionnaires.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Idiopathic scoliosis is common in adulthood and can impact patients' physical and psychological health. The Scoliosis Research Society-22 Questionnaire (SRS-22) has been designed to assess health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in idiopathic scoliosis, and it is the most used disease-specific outcome tool from adolescence to adulthood. More recently, the Italian Spine Youth Quality of Life (ISYQOL) international questionnaire was developed, which performs better than SRS-22 in adolescent spinal deformities. However, the ISYQOL questionnaire has never been tested in adults. This study compares the construct validity of ISYQOL and SRS-22 with the Rasch analysis (partial credit model). We recruited 150 adults and 50 adolescents with scoliosis (≥30° Cobb). SRS-22, but not ISQYOL, showed disordered categories and one item not fitting the Rasch model. A 21-item SRS-22 version with revised categories was arranged and further compared to ISYQOL. Both questionnaires showed multidimensionality, and some items (SRS-22 in a greater number) functioned differently in persons of different ages. However, the artefacts caused by multidimensionality and differential functioning had a low impact on the questionnaires' measures. The construct validity of ISYQOL International and the revised SRS-22 are comparable. Both questionnaires (but not the original SRS-22) can return measures of disease burden in adults with scoliosis.
