Early Onset Scoliosis and Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: A Review of the Literature and Correlations With Pulmonary Dysfunction.
Review in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
In the management of early onset scoliosis (EOS) and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), orthopedic surgeons are tasked with considering the effects that curves and their treatment can have on the respiratory system, possibly the most relevant being pulmonary dysfunction due to thoracic cage changes. The pulmonary impairment that occurs as a result of scoliosis varies widely and requires a multimodal response, including physiologic testing, such as pulmonary function tests (PFTs) and consistent psychosocial monitoring of the patient. This forces healthcare providers to consider all factors affecting the patient's quality of life (QOL) and not just the primary pathology they are treating. One method that could be utilized to ensure a more holistic approach to treatment is the use of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) to assess the QOL domains. Thus, this review serves to highlight the importance of addressing and correcting pulmonary dysfunction in the care of children with EOS and AIS in a holistic manner.
