Surgical treatment of scoliosis in patients with osteogenesis imperfecta: a single institution case series.
Article in Musculoskeletal surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
backgroundOsteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a connective tissue disorder characterized by skeletal deformities, bone fragility, and spinal complications. Various studies' insights underscored the impact of scoliosis on pulmonary function, positive outcomes with spinal fusion, and improved functional abilities post-surgery. However, partial loss of correction remains inevitable.
methodsThis study examines six surgically treated OI patients with scoliosis. Surgical intervention using a posterior approach with pedicle screws and hooks aimed to correct spinal deformities. Preoperative, postoperative, and follow-up radiological assessments were conducted, revealing significant reductions in scoliotic angles post-surgery.
resultsComplications included infections and proximal junctional kyphosis requiring revision surgeries. Despite the challenges posed by poor bone quality and implant stability, no implant failures occurred in this series. Ponte osteotomies at the apex of deformity aided in corrective maneuvers.
conclusionSurgical treatment of scoliosis in patients affected by OI is challenging and may be associated with perioperative and postoperative complications. Ponte osteotomy may improve the correction and reduce necessary force at the time of correction.
