Back pain and disability according to early onset scoliosis etiology in children younger than 10 years.
Article in Spine deformity, 2024. 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
purposeTo determine caregiver-reported back pain prevalence, disability, pain interference, and associations with curve magnitude in early onset scoliosis (EOS) using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information Systems (PROMIS) measures.
methodsA single-center, retrospective review was performed in children below 10 years of age according to EOS etiology. Caregiver-reported back pain prevalence, ODI, PROMIS Pain Interference, Mobility, and Anxiety measures, and curve magnitude were recorded as part of routine clinic appointments.
resultsA total of 1212 patients with EOS (588 idiopathic, 295 congenital, 217 neuromuscular, 112 syndromic) ages 6.6 ± 2.7 were included; 23% had caregiver-reported back pain. Neuromuscular EOS patients had the highest prevalence of back pain (29%). ODI scores were higher in neuromuscular (48%) and syndromic (35%) patients than congenital (20%, p < 0.05) and idiopathic (16%, p < 0.01) patients. Neuromuscular patients also had higher PROMIS Pain Interference scores (53.3) compared to idiopathic (41.6, p < 0.001) and syndromic (45.0, p = 0.016) patients. A higher curve was associated with the presence of back pain (39° vs. 30°, p < 0.001) and had positive correlations with ODI scores (r = 0.38, p < 0.001) and PROMIS Pain Interference scores (r = 0.34, p < 0.001).
conclusionApproximately one in five children with EOS under the age of 10 have caregiver-reported back pain, with the neuromuscular EOS type exhibiting higher pain prevalence, interference, and disability scores. Larger curve magnitude is associated with an increased prevalence of caregiver-reported back pain, increased disability, and increased pain interference. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 3 - case-control study.
