Prevalence of Scoliosis in Children and Adolescents with Cystic Fibrosis.
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 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
The prevalence of scoliosis in people with cystic fibrosis (CF) seems to be greater than in the normal population. Over the last two years, a screening for spinal deformities was carried out in patients with CF aged 5 to 18 years, followed up at the CF regional Centre in Parma (Italy). Forty-three patients (twenty-seven males, mean age: 11.8 ± 4.5 years) were enrolled in the study. Nine patients (20.9%) were diagnosed with scoliosis, with a mean Cobb angle of 20.8 ± 9.4 (12-38°). Five patients (11.6%) were diagnosed with a postural kyphosis attitude and one with pathological fixed kyphosis. All patients with scoliosis and postural kyphosis started daily physiotherapeutic scoliosis-specific exercises (PSSE). Compared to people without CF, the prevalence of scoliosis in our paediatric CF population seems to be higher and more present in males; the curves were thoracic and mostly right-sided. CF disease, hyposthenic postural attitude and sedentary lifestyle can contribute to the pathogenesis of this musculoskeletal alteration. Spinal deformities may negatively affect pulmonary function, resulting in disability, pain and a decreased quality of life. Since the prevention of musculoskeletal deformities is easier than restoration, in CF population targeted screening during growth and interventions, including regular physical exercise, are mandatory.
