1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeIt was aimed to analyze the relationship of the respiratory functions, respiratory muscle strength, magnitude of the curvature, angle of trunk rotation (ATR) and brace-wearing duration in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).

methodsSixty patients with AIS (43 females), with maximum Cobb angles between 20° and 66° were included in the study. ATR values were measured with a scoliometer. Respiratory function parameters (forced vital capacity [FVC], forced expiratory volume in one second [FEV1], FEV1/FVC ratio, peak expiratory flow [PEF]) and respiratory muscle strengths (maximum inspiratory pressure [MIP] and maximum expiratory pressure [MEP]) were measured by combined spirometry.

resultsThere was a negative significant correlation between maximum Cobb angle and ATR with respiratory function parameters except for PEF and FEV1/FVC (r = -0.258-0.441; p = <0.001-0.047). There was a moderate negative correlation between ATR with MIP (cmH2O) (r = -0.377; p = 0.003) and MEP (cmH2O) (r = -0.362; p = 0.005). On the other hand, no correlation was found between brace-wearing duration with respiratory functions, maximum Cobb angle and brace-wearing duration with respiratory muscle results.

conclusionThe results of this study showed that, respiratory functions were normal or mildly affected, and respiratory muscle strengths were weak in AIS. Increased Cobb angle and ATR negatively affected respiratory function; increased ATR was associated with decreased inspiratory and expiratory muscle strength. It is extremely important to carefully evaluate the respiratory system and to know the variables that affect respiratory functions and respiratory muscle strength in achieving optimum recovery in the holistic treatment of individuals with scoliosis.
