1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the brace compliance and clinical background of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) who demonstrate different degrees of psychological brace-related stress. Methods: Forty-five patients initiating brace treatment with a Cobb angle between 25° and 45° were included. Patients receiving brace treatment for AIS were administered a questionnaire for brace-related stress (i.e., the Japanese version of the Bad Sobernheim Stress Questionnaire-Brace [JBSSQ-brace]). Based on their scores, we allocated the patients into two stress groups: mild-stress (≥16 points) and below-moderate-stress (<16 points). We investigated the character of brace compliance and brace-related psychological stress in all patients and compared the demographics and brace compliance between both groups. Results: Forty-one of 45 patients completed the study. The mean JBSSQ-brace scores were 18.7±5.1, 19.1±5.2, and 18.7±5.0 points at the 1-month, 4-month, and 1-year follow-ups, respectively. There was no significant change in JBSSQ-brace scores over one year after the brace prescription ( Conclusions: Overall, brace compliance was comparable among patients with different brace-related stress, but brace compliance during weekdays and nighttime was significantly better in the mild-stress group.
