Methodology and application of three-dimensional technology for brace design and production for treatment in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: a scoping review protocol.
Article in BMJ open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionConservative treatment for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) using bracing has proven to be effective at reducing curve progression. However, variation in brace design and lack of brace specificity hamper clinical treatment outcomes as well as the predictability and comparison hereof. To overcome this, recent technological developments aim to generate transparent and objective criteria for brace manufacturing by applying computer-aided design software and additive manufacturing to produce braces for scoliosis treatment. Yet, the extent of its applicability and clinical implementation are to be determined. This study will identify and map the available evidence for the methodology and application of three-dimensional technology for the design and production of clinical braces used for treatment in patients with AIS. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This scoping review will be conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews. This scoping review will consider studies on methodology of three-dimensional technological methodology and applications that have been or are currently being applied in brace treatment of AIS. The following databases will be searched: MEDLINE, Web of Science, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews and Embase (OVID). Search limits will be applied; for example, only articles written in the English language published after 2000 will be included. The retrieved articles will be screened independently by two researchers. A third researcher will be consulted in case of disagreement. Data from relevant articles will be independently extracted by two researchers and presented in a tabular manner accompanied by a descriptive narration. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Considering the nature of the study, no ethical approval needed to be requested. The study result will be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal.
