Mortality and Causes of Death in Children With Cerebral Palsy With Scoliosis Treated With and Without Surgery.
Article in Neurology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. It is linked to trial NCT06934278 (Pooled Human Plasma vs Crystalloid in The Management of Children Undergoing Instrumented Spinal Fusion for Scoliosis), which is not on this map. Cited by 8 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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesTo compare mortality and causes of death in scoliotic children with cerebral palsy (CP) with and without scoliosis surgery.
methodsNational population-based registries were searched for children with CP and scoliosis with and without surgery for scoliosis and were analyzed for comorbidities, mortality, and causes of death.
resultsTwo hundred thirty-six had not been operated and 238 had been operated on for scoliosis during the median follow-up of 17.8 (interquartile range [IQR] 11.7-25.7) and 23.0 (IQR 18.4-28.2) years, respectively. Both groups had similar comorbidities. During the follow-up, mortality was higher in the nonsurgically treated group than in the surgically treated group (n = 38/236, 16% and 8.7 per 1,000 follow-up years vs n = 29/238, 12% and 5.3 per 1,000 follow-up years, DISCUSSION: Surgical treatment of scoliosis associates to reduced mortality because of respiratory causes in children with CP and scoliosis. CLASSIFICATION OF EVIDENCE: This study provides Class IV evidence of the effects of spinal fusion on mortality of children with severe scoliosis due to CP.
