Thoracoscopic Surgery in the Management of Idiopathic Scoliosis: Systematic Literature Review according to the Prisma Protocol.
Article in Revista brasileira de ortopedia, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 characterized by a three-dimensional deformity of the spine with axial rotation and lateral inclination with an angle greater than 10° according to the Cobb method. Its approach can be conservative or surgical, depending on the degree of angulation, musculoskeletal development and age of the affected child or adolescent, or even depending on the functional impairment resulting from the condition. The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of videoassisted thoracoscopic surgery in the management of idiopathic scoliosis. This is a systematic literature review, built according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol and registered with PROSPERO under number CRD42022351466. The search for studies was performed between August 2022 and September of the same year, in bibliographic databases including MEDLINE, The Cochrane Library and Web of Science. The technique is a minimally invasive alternative to thoracotomy that has shown great evolution in recent years. The main advantages include less blood loss during the procedure, shorter hospital stay and improved post-surgical esthetics. One of the disadvantages mentioned by the authors is the greater complexity and technological requirement, longer surgical time and the need for careful selection of patients, according to degrees of vertebral deviation. The use of analgesics and anti-inflammatory drugs had no significant difference between traditional procedures (thoracotomy) or thoracoscopic surgery.
