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

purposeTo review the current literature surrounding the assessment of self-image in pediatric and adult spinal deformity.

methodsThe literature were reviewed for studies examining patient-reported outcome measurements (PROM) and self-image in pediatric and adult spinal deformity. PROM performance metrics were collected and described. The relationships between self-image PROM and patient outcomes, including satisfaction, were described.

resultsSeveral self-image PROM exist, including the Scoliosis Research Society-22r (SRS-22r) self-image domain, the Body Image Disturbance Questionnaire (BIDQ), and the Spinal Appearance Questionnaire (SAQ). The most commonly used is the self-image domain of the SRS-22r. It is validated in adult and pediatric spinal deformity and is correlated with patient desire for surgery and satisfaction after surgery. This domain is limited by floor and ceiling effects.

conclusionSelf-image assessment is critical to both pediatric and adult spinal deformity surgeries. The SRS-22r self-image domain is the most frequently reported PROM for this health domain. While valid in both surgical cohorts, this PROM is affected by floor and ceiling effects which limits the ability to discriminate between health states. Given the overall importance of this domain to patients with spinal deformity further efforts are needed to improve discrimination without gross increases in PROM question burden, which may limit broad acceptance and use.
